Did I really hit my MileageBoost threshold?
I just got an email from Delta congratulating me for reaching the $30K MilesBoost threshold for my Reserve card...which I'm nowhere near given it's still January! That said, I'm not seeing the miles in my account yet, even though the email says they've already been deposited... any idea what could have happened? Anyone else receive this email prematurely?

Is there some welcome, for example for $1000 spend in the first few months, that you could have reached?

Funny, I literally just emailed Delta about this. I got the same email from Delta about my reserve 15K (which will then put me over to PM) last week. Just waiting for it to credit to my account so I can then book a few flights to get C+ right away.... before they screw us over in May

Did you hit $30k spend on your platinum card in 2015? I had this unexpectedly happen when I upgraded from the Gold card to Reserve in January 2012. I didn't realize it but I had spent just over the $30k threshold on the Gold card in 2011 and even though I didn't upgrade to the Reserve until early 2012 (but before my December/January statement posted) I still got the 15k MQM for 2011.

Interestingly, I now see the 15K SkyPesos in my account, but there's no change to my MQM.
Kind of afraid to call them on it, I don't want them to "fix the glitch"...

That's a very good point - I did make more than $80K in charges in 2015, which puts me $30K over the $50K threshold for the two boosts I got on the Plat card I had last year. That could explain this, although I can't find any terms that point to this as policy.

Thanks for that bit of info! I found the link to claim them. Still not seeing them in my account yet, but I'm guessing that will take a day or two.

Mine posted on Jan 21 but they were 2015 MQMs. Be sure to look at activity in 2015 (not your early 2016 flights) to see the MQMs. My rollover was adjusted (because all MQMs were set to zero on Jan 1) to reflect these additional 2015 MQMs.
