I can't even log into the stupid page.

edit: finally got in.

2500 for $725
5000 for $925
7500 for $1125
10000 for $1325

I was under 50K MQMs until 11/26, and am just now over 50K MQMs. But I will easily requal for Plat without having to buy any MQMs.

Since the money spent counts as MQDs, I guess mbwmbw got his wish.

Buying MQDs is just silly. Get a friend with a paypal account and send him $25K in payments from a DL Plat Amex. That will cost $750 in fees (give or take) and net 35K miles, 10K MQMs, and a MQD waiver. Or do it with a Reserve card and send $30K payments costing around $900 and netting 45K miles, 15K MQMs, and a MQD waiver.
