Just a public service announcement on your SkyMiles MQDs. I’ve been watching them since you could view them beginning last year, and they have posted correctly without fail. However, my most recent flight did not. By my calculations, and based on the receipts available on Delta.com, I should have received 307 MQDs, but only 199 MQDs posted.
My original plan was for a 10 day trip, but that was cut short. I phoned the company travel agent to make a change, and my ticket was reissued for my earlier return at a slightly higher fare. The new base fare for the round trip worked out to $307. I watched my SkyMiles account for several days, and that 199 number never budged, so I finally gave up and emailed Delta via the website. I provided details of exactly what happened with my trip as well as both ticket numbers. I emailed yesterday morning, and when I looked at Delta.com late last night, my MQDs had been corrected. I still haven’t gotten an email response from Delta, and I suppose there’s an outside chance that this repaired itself on its own.
While my MQD count is likely to be waived because I am almost certain to hit the required $25K in spend on my Delta Amex, I think it’s still important to watch and make sure they post correctly. Happy Friday, and mind your MQDs.

How long does the 30000 miles, $50 credit on the Gold Delta Amex take to post? I cleared the $1000 spend reqt in about a week, probably yesterday, now waiting for the credit
I’ve seen it happen before this, but usually they will post when you first statement closes.
[…] On this topic, MJ on Travel has a good post to watch i.e. count your MQDs as it seems Delta IT is not giving everyone full credit as they should. To me, the exempt spend is the way to […]
