Delta MQM Rollover Question
First time poster here. I have a question. I currently have 240k MQM this year with two international trips and several domestic trips scheduled, and will definitely have more than 250k at the end of this calendar year.
Will all my MQM's rollover for the next year? So basically, if I finish with 265k MQM, will I begin 2020 with 140k MQM? Or will I have diamond for the next two years with a rollover of 15k MQM? Is there any benefit to NOT hitting 250k MQM this year (essentially double diamond), like there can be benefits for not hitting lower thresholds and heading into the following year with more rollover?
Looking to the experts on this forum for any advice or tips, thanks so much

You will only requal for Diamond for 2021 once you also hit the MQD spend or the AnEx waiver in 2020. It will not be automatic once your rollover posts unless you’ve already hit the MQD spend or AMEX waiver early in 2020.
If/when you requal for Diamond in 2020 for 2021, you’ll again rollover anything over 125K MQMs at the end of 2020. If you only qualified for a lower level status (say, Platinum) in 2020, going into 2021 you would rollover anything over 75K.

Technically even if you hit 250,000 MQMs but don’t hit $3,000 MQD/$25k Amex or are a non-resident they all go down the drain. You must hit at least Silver for the MQM carryover. (One could possibly hit 250,000 MQM and zero MQD by only traveling on PWM tickets).

One could hit 250,000 MQM with $0 MQD by having lots of rollover from the previous year but no flights this year (and no AmEx spend to either MQMs or the waiver).

Pardon me, but what do you mean by “PWM” tickets? That acronym is not in the FT Glossary and it appears that P, W, and M fares on Delta do earn MQD. (I’m not even entertaining the notion that ticketed Delta flight segments to Portland International Jetport are ineligible to earn MQD.)
