Your profile shows you are GM. If that's correct, then no. Platinums can gift FO, and Diamonds can gift GM.

Yes, assuming you can gift GM. If she were GM, you couldn't.

Haven't updated that in awhile. DM for 2016

I don't know where to post this, but I noticed that when I picked my choice benefits, each GUC generated a receipt in my wallet for zero. The DL $200 gift card generated a receipt for $200. Strange.

There's a spreadsheet behind the wallet. The Amex companion certificate also shows a "value" of $0. I suspect what that column really means is how much cost you can take off a ticket using it. DBC shows the actual value.

But I also have real receipts for tickets I've purchased in the same section of my wallet and there are no pluses or minuses attached to these things. The system seems to confound debits and credits.

"Trip Receipts" shows me tickets (and their price), "Service Fees" (a denied boarding voucher and its value), and "Service Fees" ($0, corresponding to RUCs). You're right, the amounts are all positive, both for tickets (paid) and vouchers. Though in a sense, they're all positive: they're my assets (except that some of the tickets have been flown, so there is no remaining asset).

Bump. A friendly reminder for those who haven't selected their DM/PM Choice Benefit(s) for 2015 qualification, the deadline is now 1 month away (Jan 31, 2017).

I think you mean 2016 Choice benefits that you qualified for during 2015.

Yes, that's essentially what I said.

Thank you so very much.
It would be so great if DL would post this on the CB redemption site.
I was told just this week by an agent that the last date was now 12/31.
Why Delta continues to shroud this in mystery is, indeed, a mystery to me.
Even the DM agents don't seem to know.
Thanks again for keeping us informed.

A number don't understand that the elite year is actually a month off from calender year.

That's to give DL a chance to catch with posting missing MQMs etc. so that someone doesn't unfairly temporarily lose status in early January for stuff beyond the person's control like partner flights posting late or going missing.

I did a status match in 2016 but then eventually also qualified via regular means. As a result, my account currently shows me as eligible to select PM benefits for 2016 and PM benefits for 2017. Am I correct that I have until 1/31/17 to select the 2016 benefits and until 1/31/18 to choose the 2017 benefits?

New to this, so appreciate the help.
