I thought I should be able to see spend on my most recent statement, but it's not there.
My business Reserve has the statement ("Your year-to-date spend on your Delta SkyMiles® Reserve Business Card is $xxxxxx. After you spend $150,000.00 in a calendar year, you earn 1.5 miles per dollar on eligible purchases for the rest of the year.") at the end of the Miles Earned section. My personal Reserve card statement does not have the year to date spend, and none of my statements since I acquired the card do.
We often have numerous returns, so it's difficult to parse the return amounts, credits, payments, etc. out to get an an accurate number.

Can't you get spend from the last statement, as of whatever has posted by the closing date, and then add later charges that have posted since the closing date? It shouldn't be necessary to go back any further unless you have some returns which then need to be followed carefully.

My statement recently closed, and while there was significant movement on the Amex Tracker, it is still about $600 (2 weeks worth) short. Happy to report the mini 500 MQM boosts from $1000 spend posted correctly at the statement close date along with the appropriate regular miles earned.

For me the wait is over 
: the Amex spending tracker had been lagging by $3.5K until ~ 2 weeks ago when it started to catch up at accelerating pace.
Delta showed the $25K spend 2 days earlier, and today the Amex tracker showed the same $25K mark generating an instantaneous 10K MQM credit.
Wonder what their running script does to the backlog of transactions where they are not processed per account. Probably, it looks at the daily volume of all AmEx transactions and issues increments to every individual dashboard.

Looks like mine is all up-to-date too, but I haven't made any significant purchases in the last week. I anticipate making a few over the next day or two, so will keep an eye on the Tracker to see how timely it moves.
Also, I notice a countdown timer now saying "only 73 days left!" encouraging me to hit the $25K threshold.

Just adding a small datapoint based on a few days of close observations: It looks like not only is my Amex Tracker back up to date, but as soon as a transaction posts, the Tracker is updating again rather than lagging several weeks behind. Let's hope it stays that way.

As for me I work in Europe - so U.S. supermarkets are out of the menu, and finding the places that accept AmEx is quite a quest
Should have received 5500 MQM.

I am going to call tomorrow and see if I can find out the eligible spend to date for this promotion. They are making it very opaque and I am really weary of Amex representatives and their lame excuses.

AmEx Delta Reserve MQD spending update.
I just made a large spending in one transaction (over $30K) on my business delta reserve but my MQD spending waiver tracker has not been updated for $30K after a few days after the charge was posted. But I saw the tracker moved by 0.5K few days ago (possibly because of the few hundred $ worth of spending from my personal reserve card (I did remember the tracker updates real time daily instead of statement closing date). Also, I did made a payment prior to the charge was posted on my business reserve card (so the balance was about negative $30K-ish) because i dont want the large spending to hurt my credit score if I wait until statement closing date to pay it off. My question is, would making the payment prior to the charge posts confuse the system where it would mistakenly think my net charge is $0 after charge is posted due to the payment paid before charge was posted? If so, how could I get it corrected? I am getting close to making Diamond MQD waiver, so 30K is big deal.
