So it looks like Delta isn't recognizing qualification for 2018 yet, or at least, I can't see it. I've qualified, but the site only shows 2017 stats.
I don't usually qualify this early in the year, but I had a lot of rollover. Any idea how soon the system wakes up to 2018?

MQMs and MQDs or the waiver? I know a lot rollover enough MQMs to instantly qualify but MQDs/Waiver need to catch up

I reached DM for the first time en route to a European vacation with my husband.
I proposed to my now husband at T4 in May 2015 and got married this past June. DL has been an important part of taking us to and from many memorable trips, and looking forward to sharing many more experiences with my husband courtesy of DL!

The info displayed in the MY DELTA box that showed "$137 to Silver" on December 29 is misleading. There's no asterisk or link to the page which I only found yesterday after talking to customer service that says that both MQDs and MQMs thresholds are required.
Furthermore, after purchasing the MQDs, I got an email with the title: "THANKS FOR ELEVATING YOUR STATUS.", so I did not suspect anything wrong, I assumed that the status was successfully elevated as per the email. Once again, I was mislead!
The t&c and faq links in the webpage where one buys MQDs doesn't have a link to the Medallion Qualification page. I don't think this is entirely my fault, one cannot know everything...
Is there a Delta liaison here on ft?

Interesting, I would've sworn it used to say something like "Complete one from [plane] and one from [$$] to reach __ Medallion". I'm not sure if that language is gone, or merely doesn't show up for me as a DM (even though I have not even qualified for FO for 2018 yet -- more than enough MQMs but just short on MQDs)
FWIW I haven't seen anyone from DL posting in an official capacity in the ~2 years I've been lurking & posting on FT.

1200 MQM short for DL (even though $20k+ in MQD) and a couple of my flights were re-routes that shorted me about 2,700 miles for the year. Requested an exception but was denied...tired of being a number to Delta, and as a recovering AA EXP I guess UA is my only hope.
Also, the Delta 360 "secret" membership is fairly unimpressive. The only benefit was the higher priority (above other Diamonds) for upgrades, and SkyClub membership -- fun while it lasted.

Did you not receive an MQM offer to buy up for status?
