I had dinner with a buddy (and 2 other DMs, I was the lowly GM) the other night and we got to talking about status. He was +180K MQMs with over $70k MQD. Nothing about 360. Second year with that travel pattern and no signs of diminishing.
You're getting nowhere under $100K imo (and ime).

You left out MSP, which I think is the toughest of them all. My Wife's boss spent close to $200k (She is a VP, and travels in Business everywhere) last year and didn't get an invite, while her co-worker that lives in Chicago got an invite with about 80k (flying in coach, unless upgraded for free).

Last year I received my invite in Feb. Not sure of the of the thresholds that I met to receive the invite, but I believe the biggest two factors are the market you live in and dollars you spend. Last year my home airport was MCO, my spend was 65K and MQM was 178K

When do/did the invites for Delta 360 go out for next year? I've had a pretty big year, but I'm not sure if I'm close to qualifying. Anyone have ideas on the estimates for getting an invite? So far this year I have the following (have a few more flights planned in Dec):
MQM: 250k (includes 42K roll-over from last year)
MQD: $35,800
MQS: 103
MQM: 250k (includes 42K roll-over from last year)
MQD: $35,800

Last year I spent $70,000 and got a rock. Didn't even get a simple christmas card?
So this year I spent $60K with AA and $15K with DL
I imagine I'll get just Diamond and nothing else from DELTA (due to RO)
NOTE to the deaf ears DL marketing - That's the problem with not having defined criteria - folks don't strive to reach it

Would DL win you back if RA throws a parade in your honor?
It's an airline, not a spouse.

Once Frank Borman showed up in the office of a CAB Commissioner bearing flowers. This was when he was running Eastern.

After that, they decide to make a few "one off" decisions.
