If you really wanted to play this game, you can book AF W (Prem Echon) from IAD-BOM for ~24k MQM at around $2,200 per r/t. I used November dates, have to book 60+ for these fairs I believe.

Two years ago I was GM with DL and 1K with UA (both based on actual flying). I wanted to switch all my flying over to Delta and they wouldn't match me to something higher because I already had status.
Our records indicate that you are a current SkyMiles Medallion member and, therefore, are ineligible to participate in this offer. This offer is for non-medallion members and we are unable to upgrade or extend your current status.

Which is why I pointed out upthread that he would have to wait until March 1, 2015 when he loses all Delta status.

Not DL, of course, but I did status match from UA to AA. AA wanted not only proof of 1k status, but asked for my most recent account statement from UA. I could not status match to DL because I was already SM and thus not eligible for a match, according to DL SC.
