I have status and booked an award flight for someone else. Is there anyway they can take advantage of the status?

My flight was already booked already for money, not rewards.

In short, no, without reaching 25,000 MQM and $2,500 MQD.

If you're AA Gold or United Silver, you can try the match challenge: http://www.delta.com/content/www/en_US/business-programs/skymiles-medallion-status-match-challenge.html

And if you're really lucky, you can find a Platinum or Diamond Medallion who has the ability to "gift" Silver and Gold respectively as a Choice Benefit. But good luck with that  :P

And all of the above incur a lot more time and effort than just paying for the dang bag.

I am ~$300 short of the MQDs for silver. I don't have the delta card, other than flight purchases what other purchases can qualify for MQDs

Nope, just Silver that is about to lapse because of Delta's stupid fight with KE.
