MQS = 42 segments
UPGRADE=36 segments (yes, as a gold, 36)
OP-UP= 0 zero
MQM = 50,891
SPEND =$3200 (Have had great pricing)

Expected finish - 100 MQS and 125k MQM just breaking DM with last minute mileage run.

I'm not sure either, though I suspect it's supposed to be Op-Up. That's short for operational upgrades, which is where Delta oversells coach on an international flight and upgrades people to business rather than denying them boarding.

Current level: DM

MQS = 36 segments
UPGRADE= 6 segments (yes, as a DM. Horrible)
OP-OP= 1 (ATL-LHR, 6/20 - IRROP, originally via JFK but wx)
MQM = 123,517
SPEND =$7951

Expected finish - 197MQM, 13-14k MQD spend. *Will hit 25k spend on AMEX for MQD waiver in September/October.

I would say I'd give up all my domestic upgrade opportunities for more Global Upgrade Certs, if anyone from Delta is reading.

MQS = 58 segments
UPGRADE= Haven't been keeping track. Probably around 20.
OP-OP= N/A (All domestic)
MQM = 73k
MQD =$8650

I'll hit Platinum on miles on my return home this week. I'll hit the spend on my way out on the 6th. Expect to end the year around 110k MQM so it might be tempting to do a run for Diamond, since the new MQD rules have made rollover mostly worthless.
