I love quoting myself
Got a box today, in it were a pen and a luggage tag and coupon for $100 bucks off a two night Marriott stay. Both the pen and tag were generic -- that is, not engraved with my name (or even WP#
)
This whole combining miles brings up some interesting questions. I wouldn't think they'd give out the physical "goodies" (the leather portfolio or whatever it is) to people who cross 1MM (or 2MM or 4MM) when the accounts are merged. But then, if I was a Skymiles person with 950K BIS on Delta and 60K BIS on NW, I'd be really pissed at losing out on my goodies.
Do they keep track of "real" (i.e. Delta) BIS miles until full integration and only give out "goodies" to people who have 1MM "real" miles? Seems like you'd have the same sort of problem, pissing off some frequent customers.
That being said, expect they'll give people the complimentary Medallion levels as that doesn't cost them much.
