I bet the high mqm prices are so they ca make up for the revenue lost when all those c+ seats fly empty 😮

I'm a PM this year and have qualified for PM next year (with about 20,000 mqm rollover); I am not eligible to buy MDMs either: This account is not eligible for Buy MQMs.

Rock for this MSP FO. But I will finish the year at 30K MQMs, so I wouldn't be able to move up to GM anyway. If I wanted some more MQMs, it would be more cost effective for me to move up to Reserve on my Delta Amex.

Not eligible here... but can't believe some of those prices. That 'high' tier pricing isn't even funny... its insulting.

10,000 MQMs ($1095.00)
I got this same offer as well. Right now i'm kettle on track to be Silver with upcoming holiday flight.

Odd that i'll rollover 30K MQMs but will just make the $$'s for MQD of FO. So clearly this is for me to meet my MQD threshold not MQM.

Used to be, not anymore.

Another not eligible...but DL probably knows I'm outta here (584 MQMs ex rollover and 1 MQS ) and didn't even bother trying.

I wonder if you have to be within some threshold of the next tier to be eligible. At present I'm only 31K MQMs away from DM.

I'm a 5year in a row PM sitting on about 92k MQMs currently. (Going to end the year as a PM) and I also got the "this account is not eligible"

I don't need them, but I find it interested that this year this promotion is targeted. Maybe DL is taking your current MQM total and MQD total and figuring out if you would have enough of both to make the next level.

I cannot understand why Delta would refuse to sell MQMS to anyone! It is free money for which they have to offer almost nothing that is tangible or has a cost.

Answering the question regarding where I saw this originally....
All I did was type Buy MQM in the Delta.com search box and that link came up.
I wasn't even logged in to my acct yet.

I also got the message my account isn't eligible to buy MQM's. I don't understand why Delta is increasing the price of MQM's by 50% in some cases over last years prices when they have devalued DM and PM so much by eliminating JFK/LAX upgrades and eliminated guaranteed C+ seats.
