Has anyone received the Status Boost today? I hit $30k spend on 12/19, received the email 12/23, and the online tracker shows I'm over $30k. I tried to request the MQMs to my SkyMiles account today, but it's saying "You have not reached the eligible spending level for the selected card to add MQMs to your SkyMiles account or to give them to someone else".

I'm now at 80k MQM. How long does it take DL to update my profile and move me up to Platinum?

I reached the threshold on my Plat card with spend that posted on 12/30. Since the tracker doesn't work/didn't update I spoke to an Amex rep on the phone on 12/31 who confirmed the threshold was reached and the MQM Boost should post. Checked in via Amex chat this morning since it still hadn't posted to my Skymiles account and was told 2-4 weeks from statement close. And further that I should ask Delta to post it since it's all on them. I realize this is probably the printed T&C but in my (and most people's) experience the MQMs post overnight the day after reaching the threshold. How long should I wait to pursue it further?

I'd wait until a couple days after your statement closes.
BTW, since you seem to be a DM and status was extended, does it matter to you when the MQMs arrive in your account? The only thing I can think of would be someone who wants to pick and use a choice benefit before February 1st.

Claiming AMEX MQM Mileage Boost
I qualified for the 15,000 MQM Mileage Boost in Late December. When I click the link to claim my miles (I've done it a few times), it either takes me to the Delta home page or to a page where I then indicate that I want the miles to go to my own account. I click on that choice and it then tells me I haven't qualified for the boost. This is despite receiving the mail that says I did. I don't get it!

The URL in the email is a redirect (each email has a unique generated URL of the form https://click.t.delta.com/..... to track that you have clicked a link which was emailed to your account). The redirects currently seems to be having issues (I'm getting redirected to the home page as well). You can try going directly to the selection page (after logging into your account) by going here -- https://www.delta.com/acctactvty/mbrLanding.action

Well, either you got lucky or they have corrected the bug. I selected my second 2020 Reserve MQM Boost today and while the selection page said it would be 18,750 MQMs, when I checked the transaction in my account activity, it only posted as 15,000 MQMs. Perhaps I should have just let it post without selecting it, but I guess I got overly confident when it said I would be given 18,750 MQMs.

Tried that and got this message...
"You have not reached the eligible spending level for the selected card to add MQMs to your SkyMiles account or to give them to someone else."
The link also stated the boost was 18750 miles. I assume that went into effect for 2021. I wonder if that's the problem.

I just successfully selected mine and while it says 18,750, it only deposited 15,000 MQMs. The 18,750 amount only applies to Boosts earned for 2021 spend.

Maybe delta.dumb is seeing that the OP hasn't earned MQMs yet in the 2021 calendar year.
