When viewing the
SkyMiles Overview on Delta's webpage under My SkyMiles, does anyone
know for certain if the predicted MQM (pending & upcoming flights)
includes only booked travel that will impact the current status earning year, or if a flight next calendar year specifically would be included or excluded from that number?
I ask because Delta's calculation for travel I've already booked would strongly encourage me to attempt a status match if it is only 2023 travel reflected there. That data suggests I'd be within a couple of hundred miles from qualifying for the match, and all my 2023 flights occur in July and August, so comfortably inside the 3 month status match window. If my early 2024 booking is also included, however, I'm not close enough to want to make a mileage run.
I'm hoping it is the first option given the title on the page says:
2024 Status progress: SkyMiles Member
Earn Silver Medallion® status by Dec 31, 2023.
Delta status requires a little more figuring than my oh so simple Alaska MVP. Does someone have an Excel spreadsheet template for this?
I read online that a status match request, if accepted, should initiate within about three weeks of the request, so my timing is just about perfect to go ahead if there's certainty about which of my flights are reflected in that Overview...
Thanks!
