I've been saying this since they started the MQD nonsense. This is not a loyalty program, it's a rewards program - and basically an AMEX rewards program at that. If DL insists on keeping the credit card component, they should switch to something like AA has where you just get a set amount of MQD for $25k spend, and not a full waiver.
