I know this may sound ridiculous, but I really love my NW WP #. I know it will go away but I have been apprehensive linking the accounts because I thought there might be an off chance that we will be able to keep some semblance of our account number (such as with added 0's) if the account is not linked.
Should I just captitulate, link the accounts and assume my DL number, whatever it is, will become my new FF number?
(Forgive me, I haven't felt this nostalgic since PanAm went under. I really did like their Clipper Clubs and would never have completed a 20 year odyssey on NW flights were it not for PanAm's demise. At least I'm glad that a gigantic DL/NW now offers me a pallette of non-stop international routes harkening back PanAm days.)
