In addition to the MQM glut, there's also the symbiotic relationship between DL and AMEX so I wonder also if something will happen to incentivize people to spend beyond the $25k waiver since MQM boosts are probably less of a selling point than they were before two consecutive years of 100% rollover.

various brainstorms:

- for the AMEX boosts maybe let you choose between 15k MQMs or $1500 MQDs for the Reserve etc

- allow conversion of MQMs to MQDs at some ratio

- I have a 3rd idea that's an "enhancement" many won't like, so I won't mention it even though DL has probably already thought of it
