In reply to Matt. You are correct, I noticed that too.

Under what I assume is the platinum medallion level you write “Most notably at this level, you can select a Choice Benefit, including unlimited access to the Sky Club lounges every time you fly, or upgrades regionally.” Is this true? I thought lounge membership was only included as a choice benefit at the Diamond level.

In reply to TN Pinkard. Glad to hear! Delta is one of my favorite airlines to fly, mostly because their customer service seems to be a notch above everyone else.

My wife and I use Delta regularly and would certainly say that the reward program has been worth the effort and time. She’s currently at Platinum status and I’m Silver with no plans on changing we fly with. Is Delta perfect? No but any imperfections are over shadowed by the customer service we’ve experienced and the rewards benefits.

Your Delta writeup could pretty much be used for any other airlines. It’s nothing new that the perqs are higher, and the flying/costs required, for each successive level of elite status.

I was once a Delta medallion for many years. Upgrades are now a joke. I just buy the first class seat and see all those elite fliers board after me. I pay for my flights, my employer does not reimburse me.

I appreciate your review – I also think you should very cleary state the benefits of an “upgrade” are actually

The “Potential” of an upgrade – now that Delta does everything in their power to sell to the highest bidder, precludes most upgrades.
