Can anyone confirm they've received an upgrade bonus offer for going DL Plat to Reserve in the last few years? If so, what was the offer?
I upgraded Plat to Reserve in 2015. IIRC it was minor, something like 5k MQM, which at the time was simply the difference between the publicly available initial signup bonuses between the two cards. In other words, Amex basically made up the difference as if I had signed up for the Reserve from day 1.

I got the Amex DL Platinum card and am working through the minimum spend and want to make sure my MQM's post for 2017 not 2016.

My statement closing date is January 12th, if I complete my spend between January 1-12, 2017, will MQM's post for 2016 or 2017 please.

Thanks and happy new years to all!

This might depend. schwimmair mentions a "minimum spend" which makes me think that he/she may be trying to meet the spend for an initial signup bonus. If that's the case, those usually post after the closing date of the statement period in which the minimum spend is hit, and if the closing date is 1/12, I wouldn't be surprised if the MQMs credited to 2017 when the post.
