Question - does this count toward the Amex Plat fee credit?

I read the FAQ on the website and still don't have an answer... Do MQM purchased through this promotion count towards rollover for 2019?

I'm $729 MQD away from DM and already at the MQM threshold, but the cheapest option DL will sell is 1,000 MQM, 3 MQS and $2,399 MQD for $2,399.
I already have plans through December to fly that much, but it comes off as kind of odd that I have to over-buy $1,500 in MQD that won't roll over..

" Any MQMs purchased that exceed the amount needed to achieve Medallion Status for 2019 will roll over and count towards your 2020 Status. "

Got the same as you for PM ---> DM which is hilarious because the lowest offer only gets me there on MQD, doesn't get me there on MQM so what would be the point...

I'm well over on MQDs due to a China Southern trip over the summer. About 15,000 MQM short, but doesn't look worth it for me. I'll just roll over the miles and get a head start on next year.

Here's what mine looks like:
I may have just gotten a new prescription, but I am pretty sure there is nothing for $999.

I'm shocked that DL is selling over 10,000 MQM this year.
I'm also wondering whether they're being careful to make offers only to those for whom it could result in higher status. They did this the first year and there were complaints from people who didn't read carefully, and then it seemed that DL was only making offers if acceptance could make a difference, versus only becoming rollover or going poof.
