Is there a Delta version of Mia on this forum?
 

Mia is the go-to person for Amex questions regarding MR points.

Is there a similar go-to person regarding the Delta Reserve card and in particular, the spending boosts and posting of MQMs.

My Google search was not very productive.

Thanks

I don't think Google will turn up a Delta version of Mia ;). Why not post your questions here?

There are some AmEx-SkyMiles liaisons working in DL's HQ at Atlanta. I met some during the DL ATL DO.

MQM Boost questions
 

OK. Here goes.

Both Questions have to do with the 15K MQMs awarded after a $30K spend with the DL Reserve card. Assume my cutoff date is the 10th of the month and I hit my $30K on the 20th of December, so the statement is generated on Jan 10th , 2013. In both cases I am really hoping the answer is 2013. ^^

Question #1: “Joe” wants to finish 2012 with 123,000 MQMs so he starts 2013 as a PM with 48,000 rollover miles. If I gift Joe 15K MQMs on January 20, 2013 does he vault to 63K MQMs or are the MQMs applied to his 2012 total (since I earned them in 2012), in which case I have totally screwed up Joe’s plans since he would then be a DM with only 12K rollover miles.

Question #2. I don’t assign the MQM’s to anyone. My 90 days run and the MQMs are deposited to my account on or about April 10th. Are they treated as 2012 miles and my year end totals recomputed or do they just show up and are treated as 2013?

I have seen threads dealing with the plat card but nothing regarding the Reserve card that really gave me an answer.
Thanks !!

I believe, from everything I've read, that Delta Reserve MQMs EARNED in 2012 will be applied to 2012 MQMs, even if you don't "post" them until 2013.

Sort of... Delta's presence here is M.I.A.... so I guess you could say that they have a Mia too!

I would believe this to be true, otherwise you could double dip and have 30k MQM post in 2013.

True. Actually a triple since you could earn 30K in 2013 along with the 15K from 2012.

Any thoughts on the first question.......gifting them to someone who definitely wants them in 2013? He did not generate the spend and has no control over when he receives them.

By the same logic I would guess that gifting would be the same. The MQM were earned in FY12, so would always be tagged to that year regardless if you receive them or gift them out.

I wonder if anyone has tried to refuse a well meaning gift that kicked them to an unwanted status.
