Is that not, then, evidence of a sort that tickets purchased in 2013 but flown in 2014 will record MQDs only in the year of the actual flight rather than the purchase?

They won't show up until the actual flight is taken; the question is whether they'll show up retroactively (which could be a major problem: someone flies 125,000 miles in 2014, but spends very little. On December 31, 2014, he buys $15,000 MQD of tickets for flights in November 2015. Suddenly, in November 2015, he becomes Diamond retroactively, and actually holds the status for only a little over 2 months.)

That scenario leads me to believe that MQD credit is as of the flight date, just like MQM credit.

"Similar to Medallion Qualification Miles (MQMs) and Medallion Qualification Segments (MQSs), your MQDs will post after each segment is flown."

When you spend is irrelevant. It's all about when you actually fly the flights.

Correct that it only applies to those in the US, non-US customers can earn medallion status with MQMs or MQS only, as before.

You can change your address to a foreign address but you need to provide some proof of that address, and DL is on the lookout for fraudsters here, so if you change your address but your trips still all originate and end in the US or are mostly domestic you are taking a risk of DL shutting down your account, etc.

So again, probably a dumb question and one that has been covered but I could not find it in the many pages of this thread:

As I am an Internationally based PM, I do understand that MQDs do not apply to me and I am still on MQMs and MQSs. However, since I am still on MQMs, do I not get to roll any over? I had about 30K over PM status I was assuming would roll over into 2014, but I show 0 for MQMs and 0 for MQSs.

Any feedback is greatly appreciated as always ^

I don't know if this is related in an IT sense (i.e. to when will rollovers post), but my 2 domestic flights on 1/1/14 posted rather quickly but still no miles, MQMs, or MQDs for JFK-SVO on the same day. I sent an e-form to DL but nothing has changed at this point.

Delta cannot accrue revenue until the purchased service is rendered. Therefore, MQDs will accrue when flown, not purchased.
