The pandemic has been an odd thing for status, especially on Delta. I had diamond on Delta in 2020 which was a mix of MQMs plus spending over $250k on a Delta Amex. They extended that Diamond into 2021, and 2022 for free, and also rolled over all of the MQMs. More MQMs stacked up because you get them at 25k and 50k AMEX spend, so going into 2023 I had 250k+ MQMs even though I flew very little.
2023 still required getting past the 250k AMEX spend to get the diamond MQD waiver, and that one change (from 25k to 250k) has really cut down on the number of Diamond flyers I see now. I'm back to regular flying now so those MQMs will last me for a while.
