MQD Runway Delta Medallion

Project your year-end Medallion Qualification Dollars from flights and card spend, see exactly how far you are from each status tier, and price out what closes the gap.

Unofficial tool — not affiliated with Delta Air Lines or American Express. Program rules change; the defaults below are editable in the rules panel and should be verified against delta.com before you book anything.

Where you stand

Your MQD balance is on your SkyMiles profile under “Track My Status.”

If your card’s $2,500 Headstart already posted (it usually posts early in the year), it’s already in this number — leave the Headstart boxes below unchecked.
Fare + carrier surcharges, excluding government taxes/fees. Delta-marketed tickets earn ~1 MQD per $1 (Basic Economy included).
Partner-marketed flights (distance × fare-class %), Delta Vacations, Delta Stays, car rentals.

Delta Amex cards

Boost: everyday card spend earns MQDs. Headstart: $2,500 MQD per eligible card, posted automatically each qualification year — check the box only if it has not yet posted to your balance.
