Delta Status Challenge
I'm new to Flyer Talk but I am hoping all you knowledgable people can help! I'm Executive Platinum with AA and want to status match to Platinum Medallion with Delta but had a question Delta could not answer. If I status match to Platinum Medallion and then want to become Diamond Medallion do I need to earn the full 125K EQMs between now and the end of December or since I would already be Platinum would I only need the delta (no pun intended) between Platinum and Diamond - 50K EQMs? Thanks for the help!

Reopening the topic wrt Delta status challenge.
It appears based on my reading that there is no restriction on which partner MQM/MQD come from during the challenge? Is that correct? I.e. I can qualify for the 2250 MQD (for Plat.) based on partner miles, rather than actual $ spent?
