For me, shunting that excess spend over to AMEX Plat, I can book the same TATL routes DL flies on either AF or KL in Business for considerably fewer Flying Blue points, and still credit the MQD's back to DL.
Im spending $75k on the reserve to get unlimited club. I put all of my additional spend on a CSR. In fact, all of my travel spend goes on the CSR and the reserve gets things that aren’t bonused by Chase. Might not be the optimized plan, but it’s simple enough where I don’t feel like I’m leaving too much on the table.
