He would have the miles, but would still need to cover the spend. Apparently he's $1300 bucks short of $6k now. so would either need to find a way to get over that hump, or get one of the Delta AmEx cards and spend at least $25k during the 2019 calendar year.
So, not a slam-dunk.
ETA: If he pushes through to get the MQD and MQM to hit Gold before the end of this year, he will have Gold for the remainder of this year, all of 2019, and till Jan 31, 2020.
