Us mostly retired folks can still use these SkyMiles. I have been living in Malta for the last five years but will be spending more time near Atlanta and in Costa Rica. SkySaver J seat availability to CR dictates when we travel. Getting "free" MQM's to gain status is now the new goal. The only way to gain status with BA was by actually travelling on BA flights (at least four per year). Getting status without flying is a gift from Delta.
