Similar to last year, Delta has just started selling Medallion Qualifying Miles this year for those who need a boost up for their status at astronomical prices, so I would strongly urge anyone not to buy them.

EXPIRED

You’ll only be offered them if you’re a current SkyMiles member, Silver Medallion, Gold Medallion, or Platinum Medallion are within 10,000 MQMs of the next status level. If you don’t fall into one of these categories, you may not be able to buy MQMs.

As a Platinum Medallion, I was offered the following prices for MQMs:

• 2,500 MQMs for $2,195
• 5,000 MQMs for $2,495
• 7,500 MQMs for $2,795
• 10,000 MQMs for $2,995

However, the prices are significantly less for Gold Medallions, Silver Medallions, and regular SkyMiles members ranging from $495 for 2,500 MQMs for SkyMiles members to $1,795 for 10,000 MQMs for Gold Medallions. If you’re a current Diamond Medallion you wouldn’t be eligible to purchase MQMs.

Bottom Line

Buying MQMs is not something I would recommend especially if you’re currently a Platinum Medallion, since they are charging the highest prices for Plats since they’re so close to Diamond Medallion Status.

If you do need the MQMs, it’s not too late to pick up one of the co-branded cards and spent on it to get those MQMs to post this year, which is the method I would personally go.
