On 26SEPT17 Delta changed the MQD AMEX exempt requirements. $25,000 only exempts you to Platinum or lower. $250,000 spend needed across ALL the DL AMEX cards you hold (personal and business in your name) for Diamond exemption for 2019 elite year.
If all you are interested in is the discussion starting when the announcement occurred on Tuesday, September 26, 2017, start here.

There are many data points that Delta will allow a one time exception under the 2017 qualification rules if you request this for the 2019 Medallion year.

Someone posting to Rene commented that a Delta rep said members would get one lifetime waiver then asked whether the caller wanted it for 2019 or 2020. This is why I thought waivers may continue. But yeah, Zorak - I understand what you're saying. Members have known about the requirements now for 2 years.
