I think I will be about 6700 away from diamond by the end of the year.If I can find a 2-3k spend that results in meeting all or most of that I would be interested in maybe maintaining diamond for another year.
Google Flights can be of assistance there. You can leave the destination blank, narrow down to SkyTeam and then see how the global destinations populate. Destinations like JNB, DEL, BOM, BLR, SIN, etc. that have a connection through Europe and are booked through AF/KL/VS/etc. will earn a significant a pretty good amount of MQDs based on the distance flown. xliioper provides an example for MCO-JNB where one could earn close to 4K MQDs for $2700 in actual spend.
