Once you hit the MM threshold, you start every year as SM automatically, without flying a single mile, according to the program page on delta.com. So, I take that to mean that if I then fly 25K miles, I would hit GM and if I fly 50K miles, I would then hit PM.

If that's the case, my question is whether DL will grant that automatic SM starting point for the year when MM tier is reached, which would mean that with my 50K miles already flown this year, I would be bumped to PM.

My read (and I'll bet the reality) is that the two methods for Silver qualification are not consecutive they're concurrent. Meaning to reach Gold, you're still going to have to hit 60 segments or 50K miles, not the difference between silver and gold... (just because they make you silver doesn't mean they give you 25K mqm credit...)

Anyone else know for sure?
