Is MQDs added to my account after finishing my purchase or after flying
Hi,
I have already collected enough MQMs for the next medallion. However, I still need MQDs. I'm planning on taking a trip that'll give me enough to go to the next level. However, my trip is between December 2016 and January 2017, and In need the MQDs for my 2016 collection. So will the MQDs be applied after I purchase my ticket or after I successfully fly?

Whatever flights you actually fly that are scheduled to DEPART by Dec 31 11:59PM will credit to 2016 AFTER you fly. Anything later - 2017.

After you fly, on a segment by segment basis. However, if you have a direct flight, then you will get the MQDs (as well as MQMs, RDMs, and one MQS) after flying both of the segments with the same flight number, to be credited based on the scheduled departure time of the first segment of those with the same flight number.

You'll only get MQDs for 2016 that correspond to the fares for the segments flown in 2016. It might not be half of the total as many round trip tickets involve different fares for out and back.

Remember too that MQDs are the base fare plus carrier imposed fees, but NOT including government fees and taxes, so the entire ticket price doesn't turn into MQDs. The actual number for the entire ticket should be visible during the booking process on delta.dumb if you're logged in. Afterward you can experiment with dummy bookings to try to see this.

You can get the information from your receipt which shows a full breakdown of your fare. You can easily view receipts in My Trips and My Wallet
The Base Fare equals MQD for Domestic flights. You have to do a little math for International flights.
