I wish their was an option to say, hey I have this ticket you can keep the money and re-sale the seat just give me the mile I need to meet my status.

Has anyone ever had success with offering this to Delta?

To me is sounds like a win-win proposition.
Welcome to FT. Funny how y'all are drawn to this thread at the end of the year.

As vasant says, DL will not do this no matter how beneficial it may seem to you You are running out of time. Book that MR now and enjoy 14 months of status. Pass on it and kick yourself in January when the boss tells you your travel increases by 100% for next year.

Make a vacation out of it and take a friend.
