Year End 2021: Post your MQM, MQD, MQS finals

Very interested to see how these totals end up given all of the rollover, accelerators, etc.

All my remaining travel is booked on other airlines through the end of the of the year, first Delta flight is on January 1 in 2022. So barring anything unexpected, these are my numbers

I did a MR yesterday to make platinum. Had just enough time for a burger before hopping back on the same plane. I was nearly in the same seat (1 row and aisle vs window difference). The flight crew was doing a turn around and one of the FA recognized me when I was getting back on. I also cleared out all of my drink vouchers, brought four minis of Woodford home.

How do you use drink vouchers as a Platinum, aren't you in C+ anyway?

To hit that kind of mqd on 22 segments do you just mostly fly paid D1?

Shutting it down for the rest of 2021. This was my heaviest travel year yet. Next year should be even heavier. Calgon take me away.

Yes, pretty much.

24,341 MQM, 14 MQS, and $2,558 MQDs, no CC spend and no status.

I will likely fly DL in 2022 and am wondering if I should make the push for Silver this year. I think a simple Bay area to SoCal flight in paid F (or even W) would get me across the line.

Does the rollover mean that everything rolls over - such that there's basically a 2 year period to qualify for status? If so, would there be a good reason to make Silver in December vs. January?

Thank you.

Doing a MR to make Platinum was Gold. And the flight was so full of medallions the upgrade list was silly. That said, I boarded last and was offered a middle C+ seat on the outbound, but kept my aisle seat.

Completed my last trip for the year yesterday. First time platinum. Accelerator plus about 20k of rollover mqms from last year got me here.

Usually I would say yes, but $450 is a decent amount of spend for Silver. You don't seem to have a DL Amex card, so the benefits (upgrades to C+, free bags) do have some decent monetary value. If you intend to fly DL a lot next year, and want to earn more miles as you do, it could make sense. You also will rank above other Silvers in upgrades, which could matter from SFO.
