I'm not putting extra spend on a DL card just to have to fight a losing battle over MQM later on this year.

I received the email March 26. In the notes about $90,000 spend, it did add "MQMs and bonus miles will be credited to your account 10–12 weeks after you reach the spend threshold." It's never taken more than 2-3 days after statement closed when I've crossed the $30K/$60K to receive the MQMs/bonus miles, so perhaps that's the kicker.

I interpret an unprotected landing page, open to the public, to indicate that as a card member “You are automatically enrolled in this benefit”. It indicates that it is a new benefit for 2018 only. I printed this page and I will fight this if they do. It post.

Sorry to keep bringing this up, but with all the speculation, opinions, and 100+ posts, no one has actually hit this spend and commented on whether this is working and posting?
1. Who has hit the spend and NOT had them additional miles post?
2. Who has hit the spend and they DID post properly automatically?
3. Who has his the spend and had to call to inquire? and what was the response?

Sorry, to clarify: the miles were available after a couple of weeks. I think I still had the option of claiming them for myself or giving them away.

January (15k MQMs): 2018 SKYMILES AMEX $30K THRESHOLD MQM - KEEP
Mid-April (15k MQMs): SKYMILES AMEX COBRAND THRESHOLD MQM BONUS
Late-April (15k MQMs): 2018 SKYMILES AMEX $60K THRESHOLD MQM - KEEP
I also checked my credit card statements. I hit the $60k and $90k thresholds with one transaction. It turns out the mid-April bonus hit two days after the transaction. The late-April bonus hit two days after the statement closed.

I got this offer but am not bothering with it even though I could make it easily. frantic and I try to stay within a few MQMs of each other and have done so for years. Since we already have plenty of them, there is no point in increasing my spend for MQMs which I do not need nor SkyPesos which do not have the value of other credit card currencies that can be earned.
Now I might reconsider that if she also got the offer since an extra 15K rollover MQMs for both of us might come in handy one of these years.

FYI - I just checked my account activity, and the bonuses posted in this order:
January (15k MQMs): 2018 SKYMILES AMEX $30K THRESHOLD MQM - KEEP
Mid-April (15k MQMs): SKYMILES AMEX COBRAND THRESHOLD MQM BONUS
Late-April (15k MQMs): 2018 SKYMILES AMEX $60K THRESHOLD MQM - KEEP

I'd agree this is to hopefully get people back that are upset about the waiver. With that said I don't think that will work in reasonable way. Someone that used the 25K waiver why would they spend 90K to get 15K mqm? Someone on the waiver for DM had 125K MQMs from whatever means. Doubt they need/want the 15K MQM for spending another 30K.
AI have the reserve and literally everything goes on it until 60K as of now. After that in years past I move to the Amex Plat. I get 5x on Delta and other bonuses and benefits. Another 30K on the reserve just doesn't make sense.

Just FYI I simply Googled “AMEX delta reserve 90k spend mqm bonus” and that page comes up. That’s how I found it. I never get the message you got and I’ve done it at home, work, and my phone.
