While the RDMs and $100 credit look good, only 5k MQM is pretty low for a new sign up. Are you sure that none of the miles after the $1k spend count as MQM?

FYI, only the parts I bolded above are unique to your sign up bonus offer. All the other stuff are just standard features of the card itself. I don't know what DL/Amex are doing to market these cards recently, but it seems that I've been seeing a lot more posts lately where people imply that the MilesBoost is some special part of the welcome bonus.
I suspect that the 10,000 miles for $25K spend is included, but then it should be 20,000 miles for $50K spend or 80,000. However, this is just the normal annual feature of the card and has nothing to do with any welcome bonuses. I wish DL would make this more clear, including separate statements of MQM and RDM to be received.
