Just crossed 75,000 MQM: when does my status change to Plat?
I could have sworn that I saw this question asked within the past couple of weeks but I couldn't find in a couple of searches.
A CO flight posted overnight (Sun 10th Dec), putting me over 75,000 MQM for the year, yet my status, as reported on delta.com, remains at Gold.
When should I expect to be called Plat? For my outstanding reservations, will that status update or should I call to have that done?
Thanks.

Status Change
Delta updates their computers on Saturday. So you should receive platinum benefits this coming Saturday since you reached 75K Sunday. You might consider checking if you have any currently booked reservation to insure your new status is recognized there.

Congratulations! I just reached the same milestone last Saturday morning and was disappointed when my status did not upgrade on the website Saturday night.
It finally upgraded after a week sometime around 11pm PST on Friday night.

If you have any existing itineraries prior to your transition from one level to the next you will need to call Delta so they can apply your current Medallion status to your future travel.

Plat status posted yesterday AM (Saturday 16 Dec).
This is the first time I've had top-tier status on any carrier. I've always had mid-tier status on at least two.
