Current status:FO/Silver
Rollover:23329
MQS = 30 segments
UPGRADE= 6, I think
MQM = 19662
SPEND = $2,851
Expected end: 60K MQM, probably not close enough to make it to 75K even with a run. Unless I go ahead with my MS plan to get past the 25K waiver, since most of my flights are cheap I might otherwise not even make Gold.

but since we're all playing, i've got
MQMs: 120k
SPEND: $5k
Upgrade - very very good, almost always. I don't count but i'll say ~9/10 times
TCVs from taking a bump - LOTS. I've cashed in on some very lucky opportunities this year - easy flight swaps for generous $. Summer vacation money
not nearly enough MQD though. and i've been booking all my flights as late and as expensively as my job will allow. :: sigh :: I'll try and do better at giving you more money Delta, I promise.

I just wish I could import my FlightMemory data into that. Read threads on it but not easy/not doable. There is no way I want to type in 1100 flights into FlightDiary even though it looks really nice software.

MQS = 20 segments (26 after next week)
UPGRADE=14 (6 int'l without upgrade, 6 with)
OP-UP= 0 zero
MQM = 76,179 (+124,999) = 200,678
SPEND =$9258 (mostly it'l)
I should finish around 250-275k MQM's including rollover and will hit lifetime 1M by end of July. Keep in mind I'm under 35. Not sure I should be proud or ashamed of spending so much time in a metal tube.

Upgrades: 1/7
Op-Up: 0
MQM: 46,079
MQD: $1,872
Expected Finish: 34 MQS, 63,427 MQM, $3,241 MQD
Shame to end as only Silver, in the old days I'd probably make a push for Platinum.

MQS = 99 segments (counting the next flight tonight)
UPGRADE=88 segments (have missed 1 Y and 6 B's of the 11 misses)
MQM = 508K (392K in rollover, should be getting the first 15K AMEX boost any day now)
MQD = $21K+
AMEX = >$25K
Expected finish:
MQS = ~150 (have to fly AA as my backup airline)
MQM = ~600K (expect 30K from boost)
MQD = ~$30-35K
Really depends on TATL and TPAC... could be more, could be less.

MQM: 63,678
MQS: 33
**MQD: $5800
****Upgrades: 12/15
**have AmEx waiver
****have taken a few FCM trips this year; also upgraded with miles on a JFK-LAX flight. I also have some upcoming trips on Alaska being credited to DL where the upgrade has cleared.
Projected finish:
MQMs: 100,000-110,000
MQS: 45-50
MQD: ~$7,000-$7,500
Though if I get a couple more work trips beyond what I'm already projecting, I will be debating about whether I want to hold short and stay PM with a ton of rollover or push for DM.

A little late on this thread, but here's the tale of the tape...
MQM: 87,854 (14,475 rollover)
MQS: 53
MQD: $11,421
$0.13 avg MQD
Upgrades: Mostly FCM for west coast flights, other about 95% upgrade rate, and successful GUC on asia trip!
Projected finish:
MQM: 135,000
MQD: $20k
I keep thinking i'll fly less or let platinum miles roll over each year, but those GUC's, a porsche transfer once per 100 flights, and my clanky DM tags tucked safely away in my desk drawer are reasons enough to stretch my body to its breaking point and keep my company in front of customers and stakeholders!

MQM: 74,688 (24,342 rolled over)
MQS: 22
MQD: $3,677
Upgrades: I've only flown econ twice, one way to SVO and one to Iceland - I used miles to upgrade SVO>BNA back and I got an op-up from KEF>JFK
Projected finish:
MQM: 145,000
MQD: $7k
I make good use of the Reserve card, already got my 15k and should get the other 15k mqm soon enough.

Requalified for DM today. Earliest I have ever achieved this.
Nearly $20K on MQDs.
Over 60K on AMEX Reserve spend.
One or two more TPAC flights yet this year, plus a slew of domestic travel yet.
What's the best option for additional AMEX-related MQMs?
Funny thing... Still have not had my Porsche ride.

Current Status: Gold (by way of a Seattle promotion - was No Status until I took 6 flights earlier this year)
MQM - 43k
MQS - 21
MQD - Waived thanks to card, but quite low (like $2k)
Planning to finish up the year with ~130-140k MQM - I've got several long haul international flights scheduled, and still have ~30k MQM that should come from my Reserve card before year end. Dud to Diamond in a year, looking forward to next year and using that to continue exploring the world.
