Delta status generally resets annually. Each year, you'll need to re-qualify by accumulating the required Medallion Qualification Miles (MQMs) or Medallion Qualification Segments (MQSs) and Medallion Qualification Dollars (MQDs) within the calendar year. This ensures your status for the following Medallion year, which runs from February 1 through January 31 of the next year.
