Would it be considered "earned status" if I did it in 2022 for upgrade priority in conjunction with the rollover miles? Would this actually have the benefit of guaranteeing rollover to the 2023 status year regardless of what Delta does for extensions?

Or would I have less upgrade priority than someone who had it from the previous (2021) status year?

Open for thoughts.

Do you have a foreign address and are thus MQD exempt? Otherwise, you won't get Gold status next year until you hit both the Gold MQM requirement and either Gold MQD requirements or the Amex $25K MQD spend waiver threshold as DL is only rolling over MQM's and not MQD's.
