Is that correct or did he not know what he was talking about?
Eh, it depends. You most certainly can earn MQMs with the Platinum. You recieve 10,000 MQMs when you reach $25,000 in elgible purchases and an additional 10,000 MQMs when you hit $50,000 in spending. However, no bonus RDMs. You will still earn 1 RDM for every eligible dollar and 2 RDMs for every DL purchase
However, you can earn more with the Reserve. If you spend $30,000 or more, you will be awarded 15,000 Bonus RDMs and 15,000 MQMs. If in that same calendar year your Eligible Spending on your Delta Reserve Credit Card is $60,000 or more, you will be awarded an additional 15,000 Bonus RDMs and 15,000 MQMs.
