Thank you for your patience while our Loyalty Department has been researching the issue regarding earning on our KLM partner flights.



They have advised, the system will be running a sweep to adjust the MQMs, MQDs, and mileage credit on all accounts affected with the change in earning on KLM in W, S, and A classes of service. As we are showing your travel 12/13-12/16/23 would have earned an additional 2,195 MQDs which would of qualified you for Diamond Medallion Status, I have adjusted your status to Diamond beginning 12/30/22 and have adjusted your travel on 1/26-1/29/23 to include the Diamond Medallion bonus miles.



We do not currently have a time line in which the additional MQMs, MQDs, and mileage credit will be adjusted to the affected accounts at this time as our Loyalty Department is still working on a fix for this.



If you have any additional questions or concerns, please let me know.



Thank you for choosing Delta and our SkyTeam Alliance Airlines. We value your patronage as our Diamond Medallion member and consider it a privilege to serve your travel needs.



Sincerely,

Amy Carlson

So, I still don't have the right amount of MDQ's but at least I have my DM status and the benefits that go with it. I will NOT book a flight on KLM again! My only advice is to keep calling, always be polite and explain your situation to the Platinum (or whatever status you are) Agent that they will need to call the Skymiles desk to discuss this. They had put into the "notes" on my Skymiles account the exact number of MDQ's I was owed. Finally, I think the Skymiles desk supervisor was tired of hearing from me and just bumped me up to Diamond so I'd stop calling : ). Good luck! Lynne
Thx for the info Lynne. This premium econ flight would have given me gold, but they said they wouldn't even help me with that part, I just have to wait for "KLM" to send DL the right info. I'm going to keep calling until hopefully someone helps me. And I'm right there with you, I'll book Air France going forward.
