The email says (as a Gold) I still get "100% elite bonus miles" but does this mean they still count towards elite status (EQM), or just that we get 100% extra miles? Mrs Waitlisted and I just booked a trip on DL two weeks ago PDX/AMS/IST and back. She is an MVP and it appears in her email that she only gets 50% bonus miles, if she only gets 50% EQM she is going to be pissed off, and its too expensive to change the tickets now. I fly to Europe often and DL just lost my paying more to support the PDX/AMS flight. Time to start looking at what AA has to offer as all the other options (BA, etc) add the one more flight to Seattle.

Again, my main question is.... Do we elites still get elite qualifying miles (EQMs) ?
