So it appears we now have 3 different categories of 2025 DMs: (i) those who extended their current DM status; (ii) those who are 3MM+; and (iii) those who have already reached 28k MQD.
It seems that (ii) and (iii) will get their DM CBs immediately and (iii) will also get PM CBs immediately whereas (i) and (ii) must still hit 15k MQDs organically to earn their PM CB.
Try explaining all of this to the casual DL traveler.
