I am already a DL Gold, therefore, I thought the Silver Medallion part of the offer would not apply to me. Are you saying if I transfer 100K-plus MR points, I will still get the 25,000 MQMs? I don't know how long it would take me to get 100K points. I'm not any big spender...I already have 50K from my intro offer from Amex.

Yes, it would be a first time transfer. I am a complete noob to Membership Rewards, although I spent some time today reading thepointsguy pages about it. Not sure if everything sunk in...I understood it to say that if I transferred 100K points, I would be awarded Silver Elite and since I'm already Gold, kinda skimmed that part.

Me personally, I wouldn't waste my first time transfer without getting the MQM's, since you won't be eligible for them again. This one requires 100k to get em, the last two only required 50k transferred.
