EOY email with personalized statistics

Just got an email with some quick stats on my "2019 business travel" - surprising since the year is far from over.
Curious to collect some data points on the # of miles vs. "top xx % of abc region business travelers"

I'm at
165,140 miles = Top 10% New York City Area business travelers
Curious if anyone has a more granular NYC % (e.g., top 5%)

Post yours if you get the email!

Someone posted on Twitter 36k miles and top 5% of New York. Must be Opposite Day.

I got 173k top 5% Las Vegas.

I received the email, but the company name does NOT match any company I have traveled for. In fact never heard of them (nor have I entered a SkyBonus number... etc.)

good lord, 165k miles (I'm assuming that's MQM not actual BIS miles?) has to be way higher than just top 10%, even in NYC, unless they have some insanely restrictive definition of "business traveler".

102K miles, top 5% in DTW.
All domestic travel, most flight segments 500-1000 miles.

Assuming this all based on my flights booked through my corporate travel agency that are noted as "Business"

Interesting that they indicate that this week (week of 10/21) is their busiest business travel week of the year.

As is tradition, this data makes no sense. Year-to-date date, I've accrued only 160K MQM (which includes some bonuses from B/Y fares and also includes maybe 8K of personal travel MQMs) but the email says 190K miles (good for top 5% in Atlanta). I could see it being accurate if they're taking October of last year through October of this year.

It could be the famous Delta IT, but maybe someone illegally attached a Skybonus to your account like this one?

47K and Top 5% in Seattle. The 47K number is inaccurate as I only have 45K MQM (20K of which are rollover). Are they using a random number generator for each metric?

I'm sure some poor schmuck in IT was having issues pulling the right report from their data warehouse and marketing said "we HAVE to get this out this week!" and so he sighed and told himself "who actually reads these things anyways?"... and enter: the randomly generated email stats.

Just got email and says 160,366 but that got me top 15% of ATL. Not sure how accurate this is on most visited cities, I visit DTW quite a bit and it didn't show, and one that I visited one time this year came up as most visited.

Typical. People in Seattle (..or at least 200 miles of it apparently) get all the goodies. No voucher for me.

Just remembered I use a WA primary address (brother) so I get the Russel Wilson passing yard bonus miles.
