The question is what happens to people who earn Plat or Diamond status in 2023, and decide to "pay" for continuing Plat or Diamond status with 100,000 leftover MQM in 2024.

I have over 300,000 MQM now (plus the 125,000 MQM needed for 2024). Does that means I can get three years of Diamond status renewal staring in 2024, AND the Choice Benefits? I "earned" the MQM's so it certainly feels like I would be earning Diamond status.

Unfortunately, I only only have 8,000 MQD's right now in 2023. Does this mean I need to do an epic MQD run before December 31, 2023, while partner Z-fares still get 40% MQD for miles traveled? I wish Delta sorted all of this out sooner.
I think I've answered this in 3 or 4 threads already. I am a retired 4MM Plat. I have received Choice Benefits every year they have been available. They may change in the future, but I have received them every year
