Bummer Hankle, it sucks when you make a mistake that in retrospect seems obvious, but we've all done it. I try to hit the bonus and then overshoot it by nearly a grand each year, just because I'm worried about my count, about whether there will be any returns, about whether end of year purchases post in December, all that. On the other hand, this means with the rollover you are well on your way to requal for 2020!

It's not aimed at you, wilsonnyc, what I believe Rene is griping about is that Delta looked to be cleaning up the Diamond ranks by imposing the $250K Amex spend for an MQD waiver, but now Delta is giving out a one-time exception to the $250K spend like candy, woohoo! In fact, I just asked for an exception today...
