Emailed link landed today after my statement closed on Thursday, so 3 days is accurate (depending on when you want to start counting). I have the MQMs on my account and it now indicated I'm gold. Thanks everyone!

From my experience with the Reserve cards, boost MQMs and companion certificates post on or shortly after your statement drops. Sign on bonuses hit right after you cross the threshold.

Wife's statement closed on the 11th giving her the 2nd boost and the 15K miles. Delta sent email at 12:09 AM notifying her of same and I was able to transfer MQM to my account immediately giving me Platinum for next year.

MQM bonus from Delta Platinum @$50k timing?
HEllo all!
Long time lurker here with a question I am sure someone here can answer. I asked the delta amex and the Delta folks and got some vague answers.
Trying to get to platinum.
I am currently gold medallion and have
65,125 MQMs and am way past the MQD and card spend requirements needed for Platinum
My card spend on my Platinum Delta Amex is at $47,138 and I will easily spend more than the $2,862 in december to get over $50k. I only need 9,876 MQMs for Platinum status which with as much as I will be flying next year will be worth it.
Does anyone know when the 10k MQM bonus will hit my account? AM I at risk of not qualifying if I depend on the MQM bonus?

If will hit your account about a day after your statement closing date (assuming that enough charges post before NYE to get your 2019 qualified spend, excluding fees/returns/money-equivalent stuff/etc., over $50,000 by NYE). However, regardless of the closing date, MQMs earned for 2019 purchases will count as being earned in 2019, and of course any excess MQMs will become rollover.

Note that spend must actually "post" by 12/31/19 to count (it's not based on transaction date). It can sometimes take a day or two after a transaction for it to post to your Amex account, so don't wait until last day of December to cross the spend threshold. As noted above, the MQM boost will not actually post to your DL account until slightly after statement close and this may occur in 2020. But they will backdate the MQM's to 2019 if it does and will update your status for 2020 if you qualify for a higher status level (they will also update your MQM rollover amount if it posts after the MQM rollover has posted to your account).

Does anyone know if it works the same way with the MQM bonus for new card holders? I opened the reserve card hoping to get the 10k MQM bonus this year but now that I've met the spend threshold and the statement date has come and gone, Amex is now saying it will be 8-12 weeks for the MQMs. Would they could for 2019 even if not credited until 2020??

Delta Reserve Amex -> Got Bonus Miles for 30K spend, but no MQMs
I already had the Delta Platinum Amex and I picked up the Reserve Amex this year. I crossed 30K of spend and 15000 bonus miles posted but no MQM on Dec 18th.... With the platinum card these always posted at the same time, is the reserve card different, or do I need to contact customer service.

With the Reserve you have to actively claim them before they are deposited since there is also the option of gifting them to someone else.
