I'll hit the GM MQD level ($6,000) and the AMEX @25k waiver level in March which will make me PM for 2021 and I'll be able to select the RUCs for PM/2021. I'll hit the DM MQD level in June which will allow me to select my 2021 DM GUCs and/or RUCs.
MQM rollover, by itself has very little meaning.
Like what
FBplatinum said, not everyone have to worry about MQDs.
