Mine has been updating just fine. Did you have any returns or credits in 2018 for spend in 2017? This will count against your 2018 spend for MQD Waiver/MQM Boost.

Mine looks OK.

I'm assuming that your DL AmEx card is still linked to your DL FF account, but another check is whether RDMs post shortly after your closing date.

Mine shows last updated date of January 30th. Prior to that, it was updating about weekly. Seems something might be up here.

I've noticed a similar issue. For January it was updating 2x a week but in February slowed down to being unpredictable. My spend in the Delta app hasn't updated since Feb 14th. Last year this happened as well. It eventually updated, but I have no idea why or how long it will take.

My spend always seems to update a couple times a week. It is close to current right now. I’d call about this; sounds like something isn’t right.

Hi everyone, wanted to let you know that we recognize that some Member’s MQD Waiver Card spend bar is not displaying accurate spend towards the waiver. Rest assured that all MQDs are still being accurately accounted for in our system and that this is a display issue only. We are working through a solution to fix the display as soon as possible.

That's good news, but if we are crazy and trying to put $250K on the card, how can we track it in the meantime?!?

On both mine and Mrs. ATL787's skymiles account, we are both showing $0 progress toward the Amex spend waiver, even though both of us are already $15k+ ytd. Anyone else having the same issue?
Mine updates 1-2 times per week it seems. I spend about $10K per week.

Not when you can't trust whether certain purchases qualify any longer.

Qualify for what? I’ve never noticed any charges to my Amex *not* count toward SM earnings/awards.

There have been some updated terms on what qualifies as a purchase. I won't say exactly but if you read around here or reddit you'll see.

My MQD spend finally updated to where it should be last week, but I just hit my $25k threshold and have a flight this week. I'm bummed because I should be Platinum if this were updating correctly.

The Amex website will show you spend year-to-date.

I’m having the opposite... just clicked over to 25K+ but my actual spend is well short of that. (I’m not at 25k miles yet so can only speculate whether it would have bumped my status or is just a display issue.)
