You can obtain elite status by two ways. Getting enough Elite Qualifying Miles (EQM) within a calender year, or getting enouhg Elite Qualifying Points (EQP). You don't need both.
25,000EQM or 30EQP will get you silver; 50,000EQM or 60EQP will get you gold, 75,000EQM or 90EQP will get your plat.
If you fly that DL fare, you'll get the EQM for your flight, but no EQP.

BTW, that question really shouldn't be on this page. If you have questions, please read the FAQ on the top of this forum, or post another thread.
