Yep, this is correct - FOs get it for free too! (at T-24).

Does anybody recall last year when rollover MQMs would post to our accounts? Looking at my account now all fields are zeroed out (while I rolled over ~48K MQMs).

Thanks & Happy New Year!

Not sure if this is the right place to share, but I achieved Gold for the first time - and on 12/31 no less! With 44 segments and (slightly more than) 50k miles flown last year, it feels hard-earned. Happy 2015!

Thanks so much!

It turned out I didn't need the round trip to EZE to get Platinum (forgot about the second 15,000 MQMs from Amex Reserve, but the trip with a New Years Eve return gave me a nice 15k head start on next year's status. Happy New Year!

I booked TATL flights to Morocco in mid-March using miles. I was able to purchase EC for 1/2 off still. Not totally sure when the full price EC (free @ T-72) goes into effect. Not sure if I was able to purchase based on 2014 GM or 2015 GM at a discount but for the Int'l part, that was worth it.

I purposely ended the year less than 50 miles short of DM. (I need the rollover next year because I will not be traveling as much and am satisfied with PM.) Well this morning I open my account and I'm Diamond. Looked again at last years total MQM and they are at 124,888. While I would love to be Diamond, the rollover for next year is more important to me. Anyone ever had this happen? If so, did you still get your rollover miles?

Your Diamond status won't expire until February 28.

I was PM for 2014 and just got DM today.

Oh, then I agree that it's weird!

And by taking the trip in 2014 you earned RDM miles based on flight miles rather than miles earned based on actual fare per the 2015 rules. :)

If you have a 074 with a bunch of KL flights and one DL coded segment, how do they assign the 'cost' to that when its all lumped together? Prorated based on distance?

Since it's almost a month... does anyone have any experience in how this is done? :rolleyes:

Can't wait to see what someone who has flown on Korean Air, etc. reports but Delta does credit you with "spend" on flights on their regional carriers that have Delta livery on their aircraft.
