Will Delta Sell MQM's Again?
Remember last year's MQM sale just before the holidays?
Anyone heard any rumblings if they will do it again? While I still have several trips in my cue for the rest of the year, I'm may run about 2000 short of PM. I'd rather just spend a couple hundred on MQM's rather than MR. I checked my e-mail history and DL's MQM purchase promotion came out Dec 1 last year and expired on Dec 15. |
I'm hoping they do. I did an MR to make Gold this year and will clear Gold by about 1,000 MQMs this year once everything posts, but I may still buy a few MQMs to help wih rollover and ensure I at least maintain Silver for 2014 since my travel schedule is looking lighter in 2013 than it is for 2012.

Can you roll over purchased MQM's? I though that wasn't allowed.

Why would you buy MQM to get silver? Doesn't seem worth it to me. No sky priority, unlikely upgrades. Only advantage might be free bags. I would just get the DL Amex credit card instead for the free bags. Gold or Platinum (or Diamond) would be worth it though.

I don't know - I guess that's a good point and one I'll have to check for in the details before I purchase any. I don't see why you wouldn't be able to. I mean, if someone needed 1,001 MQMs to qualify and bought 2,000 miles, I would hope DL wouldn't make them waste the money for 1 MQM and lose on 999 MQMs. But this would be my first year purchasing MQMs (if I do decide to do so), so I have no idea whether you can roll them over or not.

I agree, or try to find someone on CC to trade you their gift FO status for something. The only real benefit of FO vs. DL AmEx is being able to book preferred seats. But even then you can buy them on a flight-by-flight basis probably cheaper than FO status.

I hope they make it an option - I too am a couple thousand miles short and although I do have some travel planned in the next month or so (which I haven't booked) I was hoping to book a different carrier's nonstop flights instead of a lengthy layover in ATL. If I have to go DL for the MQMs I will do it!

Will purchased MQMs count towards rollover or do you lose the ones you don't need for status?

How does this work? I am not familiar with "CC".

I don't disagree with you that FO has more benefits than just having a DL AmEx card, but I think trading for status is probably a better value for most people than buying MQM's to attain it. But you wouldn't be able to do that until at least next month or January. |
I tried to click back to see the two posts and my computer seems not to like him at all. It put my browser into some sort of a loop.
