Lawrence, for PIP, I earned 12,000+ MQM on Delta. Very well worth it. It was worth it to pay the $100 deviation fee. Of course, if we had flown ATN we wouldn't have lounge access on each end; for PIP we used both lounges.
Great. Thanks Marc. I was worried that using Radisson (despite paying deviation) could invalidate elite status accrual. It's tough to tell these days with all of the fare rules. I do wonder whether it's clearer with Delta because of the simplied fare structure Delta is wisely putting in place.
