Is it against the terms of service for one person to have four Delta AMEX cards?
I'd like to have:
1. Personal Delta Reserve
2. Personal Delta Platinum
3. Business Delta Reserve
4. Business Delta Platinum
I'll have enough spend to hit the mark to get the most available MQMs from each card.

Once you've held the cards, you can actually move between the personal and business products within the calendar year.
I start both my personal and my business delta amexes at Platinum on January 1. I spent as much as possible on one, get the two platinum boosts, then upgrade to reserve. I get those two boosts and then downgrade it back down. I do the same for the other card. Essentially, I pay fewer annual fees because it's prorated. I've done this for years and I'm very happy to have the Amex products!

We're considering it. Problem is, we're >80% WFBF and we are barely able to use the RUCs companion certificates we get now -- in fact, the RUCs usually expire and we've lost a couple of companion certs to expiration.

I have Delta Reserve Business, and Delta Platinum Business but was under the impression that the boost was only available on one card. Am I understanding that you get the 30k, 60k boost on BOTH the business Reserve, and Platinum? If that’s the case, I need to rejigger some autopays ASAP!

Please don't hesitate to send me a DM when a certificate or RUC is close to expiring. I think collaboratively, we can work together to make sure this never happens again.

So if I have a DL AMEX Reserve and a DL AMEX PLAT, I would earn 50k MQMs between them if I spend $60K? The Reserve earns 15k MQMs at $30k and $60k, the PLAT earns 20k MQMs at $25k and $50k and I would only need to spend $60k combined across all DL AMEX co-branded cards.

You cant have both cards and just spend $60k total randomly spread between the two of them and receive the maximum amount of MQMs

No, platinum you earn 10k MQMs when you spend $25k+ and can earn an additional 10k MQM if you spend an additional $25k+. Completely separate, Reserve you earn 15k MQMs for spending $30k plus an additional 15k for spending another $30k on top of that.
