Delta Medallions- 2019 Travel

Impressive stats. What line of work?

I didn't hit shite

LOL sometimes it feels like it for damn sure

They were supposed to send out information on rollover for all levels. May take time since they had the screw up where they sent information to the wrong group of people

Yea a lot of people who never earned Silver status were sent a "congratulations on gold status" and Delta had to correct that by giving them gold. Some Gold members received platinum even though they never earned it. I tweeted Delta asking for Silver

I fell 5k miles short and 8k spending.

This was the first year in 5 years that I didn't make Diamond on DL.

I flew British Airways exclusively last year because it saved 4 to 8 hours of travel time for me because of direct flights in/out of Austin. I did make Gold on BA.

I'm back to DL this year though because I miss the better customer service, both on the plane and on the phone.

Yes, all of my travel is International, and I pretty much always fly Business class.

On long flights, and last-minute changes to flights -- like going from India to Asia-Pac regions (or vice versa), Delta is just so much easier to deal with. And to be fair, it isn't really Direct routes... before, BA eliminated a leg. Now there are more direct international routes out of AUS with DL -- so it offers the convenience that BA offered, but with better service.

Also, I don't like the BA business class configuration, where you can be face to face with the person next to you.

Silver, I had 19k+ flight miles and spent only 14k on my card over the past year.

Was further with my segments and very close on my MQD's which ties back into my card spending

Multiple years of diamond status flying domestic only is quite a feat. That's a lot of legs. Much more of a grind than doing it on long international hauls.

United 1K this year.
