Yes. But DL allows MQD exemption with $25K combined spend on DL-branded AMEX cards, and as of now, AA does not. UA top tier is 1K at 100,000 PQMs, but they don't allow PQD waiver with cc spend. And both of those programs' spend requirements only apply to US-based members.
So far, AA is 0 for 2 in that list.
