Why should there be an MQD waiver? Why not an MQM waiver? Why does Delta give me Silver status even though I spend more money with them than most Platinum and Diamond members? Am I not a more valuable customer, spending $20k a year on last minute short flights than those who takea handful of heavily discounted long hauls and game partner tickets?

$2kk = $2,000,000? Why don't you fly private?

I'm assuming this was a typo and he/she meant $20k.

I can relate as I used to be in the same boat - my average spend was frequently over 50 CPM. I remember right when MQDs were announced and everyone was doing the math - I was an FO spending over $15k/year. Wasn't hard to spend $20k+ and still struggle to hit GM.

WAs indeed a typo

I've hit over 15k MQDs two years in a row (over $20k in 2018) and didn't even come close to gold on MQMs.
