rgrunnah, you can also get Business and Personal AMEX Delta Platinum cards which will each give you two 10K MQM Bonuses for $50K spend (2 x $25K increments). That, combined with the Reserve Cards would total 100K MQM and put you close to DM. Additionally, you'd also receive the MQD Waiver.

Quite frankly, this stuff only pays if you're going to make real use of the status and not just put a tag on you're carry-on.
