90 day complimentary SILVER
I'm moving from US Air to Delta and enrolled in the 90 day trial.
I also registered for the DOUBLE MQM & BONUS MILES FROM LAX-SEA. Will they honor those double miles towards my silver trial status?
Thanks.

I would be shocked if they had a way to weed out an MQM bonus like this...MQM bonuses are very rare, so I doubt there is anything setup to differentiate bonus MQM's from regular ones. The only differentiation I've ever seen are for rollover miles.

OP - I would read the t&c of the specific offer you accepted. What people guess at and shocks them, may or may not be the case. But, if you rely on something which isn't, you'll be a DL Kettle on the 91st day.

I guess we can scratch my OP. I was not eligible for the "90 day trial" ...
Anybody willing to donate me a status trial or something? I know with US Air they have that as a perk but not too familiar with Delta yet. I begin my travels on Jan 15th.

Sorry, but DL doesn't offer "complimentary" or "trial" status.
There is only a "status match challenge" for new customers that already have comparable status on specific airlines and are willing to commit/prove a specific amount of travel during the challenge period. Right now US Airways doesn't appear to be on Delta's list.

What are the requirement within the 90 days for Silver ? Honestly it can't be a whole lot because Silver has such low requirements as it is. Seems anyone flying on business could easily earn silver.
Simply, Silver on DL does not get you much, so I'm kinda surprised that this challenge would be all that worthwhile. Now Gold or above, I can understand.

Assuming the poster actually registered for the challenge and this is not some sort of gifted trial thing.
