Well, I guess I don't really understand then. Future credit card MQD earn will simply be slightly more (due to round-up method) than spend/10 or spend/20 depending on credit card. The round-up method will just add a few 10's of dollars to MQD earnings, so you can basically just not include them in calculations. They do show a pending MQD earn from flights booked on delta.com (although this does not include future DL Vacations bookings MQD earn or Delta Stays promo MQDs). You can calculate future earn from Delta flights yourself pretty easily from the base fare amount before taxes and fees (again they round up to nearest whole dollar). This is demonstrated below where $598.14 base fare earns $599 MQDs. Partner coded flights (generally, these will only be booked on partner sites or third-party sites) will be more challenging as those earn MQD as a percentage of mileage flown and you need to use the partner mileage earnings charts to calculate those --
