I bought them last year. My MQD total on DL.com is a big fat zero right now.

Please note 20K for AS is AS metal only. Its 25K if including DL or AA flights in your total. If you credit to AS make sure you ask for status match first so you get MVP 50% RDM bonus

CDKing, thanks for clearing that up. I was laboring under the wrong assumption that they didn't count--reason being that when I saw them post as "fake" MQDs in my account last year, @DeltaAssist told me they wouldn't carry over and were just there to get people acquainted with the new system. But I didn't realize that there were "real" MQDs still to post associated with those tickets.

To answer the OP's question, if I get a status match soon then yes; if not then I will hold out until next year and see what my options are then... we'll see if Mr. Parker decides to take AA rev-basad and if he does, if the ability to earn is still decent... also depends if DL decides to stop cutting back the little perks that make us love them and have a less insulting 2016 SM than 2015 looks like its gonna be

SEA-based here - DL >>>>> AS. Double Skymiles is worth it too.

Although I do fly AS too, DL gets me across the water when I need to. AA? No can do.
