Hi all and thanks in advance for your insights.

I am Platinum w/ AA and am moving to Atlanta and want to switch over to Delta via a status match. My question is:

If I start my challenge for DL Gold in july 2016 and complete the necessary 12K MQM's in the three month period, will I be DL Gold for the rest of 2016 and ALL OF 2017 or just the rest of 2016??
