I have been unable to get errors in Accelerator postings corrected by writing. Has anyone had sucess using this route or do I have to call and have a CSR get involved.
Example: C+ ticket purchased for $, booked as W. Upgrade with RUC and ticket reissued as 'O'. Should have posted MQM, MQD and RDM using 1.75 multiplier but posted using 1.5 instead.

I would urge you to call. I just got home from a trip to Greece, and while I appreciate the speed with which miles and MQDs were posted, the MQD posted was $500 short of the actual fare I paid. I did the web form (useless - got a form letter answer) - so called yesterday. It helps to have your numbers lined up really clearly - they will usually have to refer the issue/remediation to another desk, so you may have to hold a lot, but my issue was resolved in about 30 minutes.

I called Plat Medallion line, and was put on hold twice but the agent got the resolution from the SkyMiles desk/side of things.

I submitted the online form when my MQD and RDM didn’t post correctly (excluded carrier surcharge). Finally ended up calling platinum line to get it resolved, took about 75 minutes on the phone. Was told several times that everything credited correctly but I was adamant that it had not, ended up working out.

Has anyone flown a VS issued award ticket on DL metal? Curious if this earns SkyMiles and MQMs. There doesn't seem to be anything in the wording on the promotion page prohibiting it.
I can't find anything that requires it to be (i) a SkyMiles redemption; or (ii) issued on 006 Delta ticket stock.
Anyone have real world experience with this?
SkyMiles Members can earn MQMs, MQSs and MQDs for Award Travel on flights that are both marketed and operated by Delta and flown April 1, 2021 through December 31, 2022.
Anyone have real world experience with this?

Stupid question - if I book a flight using miles for someone else, and she enters her SkyMiles info, will she earn MQD under the changes this year?

Yes, it's in the FAQ's. And she is the only one who can earn the MQDs since you can't put your Skymiles number on her reservation.

- If you are upgraded to a premium cabin using an Upgrade Certificate or through a Complimentary Upgrade, you will earn bonuses based on the cabin you paid for, not the cabin you were upgraded to.

According to T&C's, Certificate upgrades are not eligible for higher bonus no matter when they clear.

Here are the results from today's flight - a U fare with an RUC.

To follow up on this, we didn't get DL One, but did snag PS yesterday.

Hello all,
I wasn’t able to find an answer in the Delta FAQ page and I just want to be 100% sure.
I am on track to hit Platinum this year with the help of both an accelerator (12.5k) and the Reserve sign up bonus (20k).
If my qualifying spending thresholds happens before Dec 31, but the MQMs don’t post to my account until Jan 2022, will the MQMs still count in year 2021?
