LATAM: NYC to SCL for $1147 -- Book through December
Earn Delta Skymiles. 30% MQM match on this fare which is much better than what you'd earn on Delta metal. Non-stop there and one stop on return.

In my experience, LATAM will absolutely refuse to service the ticket unless the agency specifically instructs them to, so you will be likely be stuck with the OTAs customer service (good or bad) and related fees for any changes/cancellations/refunds + the carrier's fee, if any.

Good find. On Flyus.com I am also seeing some vacation package options with even cheaper flights on AA including a hotel (which you could throw away if you wanted).
It's interesting that Delta only gives 30% MQDs on cheaper LATAM business fares but continues to give 40% on Aeromexico discounted business. With the "bonus" MQM rollover this year I will easily have enough MQMs for DM but not expecting many MQDs, so some MQD runs like this might be interesting by later in the year -- though I suspect there are many others in a similar situation so I suspect Delta might throw us some sort of a bone by later in the year.
