Enjoy!

Two mistakes by the hosts. $35,000 MQD includes DL Amex credit card spend. It doesn’t all have to be on DL tickets. Prior to the change it was either $20k MQD or $250k spend. No combination allowed. So $19k MQD plus $240k Amex spend was PM not DM. And previous DM MQD was $15k then $20k. It was never $17,500 as erroneously stated.
@Frankie – It is hard to cover all the tiny bits in a short radio spot. Also for most they would never spend 1/4m on Delta credit cards thus the focus on ticket spend works for most listeners.
