Hope that they have an offer at the end of the year like last, where you can donate money to charities and earn MQM's.
Not to stop your charity, but do 1&2 and rollover 24k MQM and then go to GM for the next 2 years with routine flying. You can always give without worrying about MQMs

Even if you don't, i've actually gotten credit before from giving my hotel points number (and opting for airline points) to friends.

Where are you based? I doubt it's worth it to upgrade to the Delta Reserve card for $450 annual fee, I'm sure you can find a flight for cheaper than that. It'll only take you one leg since minimum MQM's is 500. You've got a few months still, just take a quick there and back on one day you have free to somewhere that's cheap.

I agree, go with Delta Reserve if you fly enough to make Skyclub access worthwhile.
