If DL doesn't roll over status again, I'll end the year as Silver. Then I'll do a few MQD runs in January and go back to DM through Jan 2024 without losing any DM benefits. If DL does roll status and MQM again I will save by only doing my required 2021 flying and not doing any MQD runs.
No, 1MM Silver status alone does not qualify for continued MQM rollover. It is considered a form of "complimentary or gifted Medallion Status" as mentioned in the T&C's listed above (the MM T&C's specifically call it "complimentary" annual status) and thus does not qualify. You must at least earn Silver via the traditional requirements in order to qualify for continued MQM rollover.
