Can someone point out what does DL expect people to get by gaining Platinum Status? To me, there is nothing left in the program that makes it attractive.

Even the domestic upgrades to FC is a PITA since I cannot do online checkin or kiosk checkin, need the elusive agent to issue the boarding pass.

I am glad I only have 250K miles (from a total of 2M) left with NWA. Need to burn that ASAP.
