I also have a quick question about the Reserve card. I am currently a GM and will be around 41,000MQM at the end of the year. Am strongly considering getting the Reserve card for the 10K MQM that will out me back at GM, the priority upgrade potential, and Sky Club membership. I also read that in a calendar year if you charge $30K on your card you could get another 15K MQM and even another 15K at $60K spend.

So if I am reading this correctly, if I apply soon for the Reserve card that should help get my GM status for 2013. Once January 1 rolls around, I can earn another 15K towards my 2014 status by charging $30K to the card?

I have never owned a Delta AMEX so sorry for the need to clarify something that might be pretty basic. I figure this might be a pretty good strategy for the $450 annual fee given I was thinking of buying a Sky Club membership anyway...

Thanks in advance for the replies.
