Only DL devalued it's elite status. Continental actually improved it's elite status by keeping benefits the same and making it harder to obtain. DL made theirs harder to obtain but gutted the benefits.</font>
You are confusing hard to obtain and more costly to obtain. CO has made it more costly to obtain the same benefit, hence the value is diminished.
