2. Spend additional $1k on DL platinum card (to get the $26k you mention)
3. Upgrade card to DL Reserve
3a. DL reserve account will show $1k in spend (the amount over the $25k already "used" for the miles boost in 1a)
4. Spend additional $29k+
4a. Receive 15k MQM milesboost

In your example wouldn't it be $55K spend for the year?

($25K for Platinum boost, and $30K for Reserve) ?
