If you are looking on Delta.com, the exact scenario I described is not listed there, however, IMO the first post in this thread explains it, and it is from Jeff who heads up the Delta Customer Loyalty programs. If you don't believe him, I am not sure what else to say here. The Delta.com website does have a chart showing that for 2010, Platinum’s get 4 SWU and Diamonds get 6 SWUs. If you qualify in 2009, you can’t officially be a Diamond in February as that program won’t be implemented until later in the spring –so you will be a Platinum in February and get 4 SWUs, then when you are awarded Diamond status in the spring, you get an additional 6 for a total of 10. That assumes that you choose SWUs are an option for both Platinum and Diamond status.

Again Jeff’s post states:
“For those current Platinum Medallions who earn the new Diamond Medallion status, in addition to the four systemwide upgrades, they will receive two additional choice-benefits including the ability to have six additional systemwide upgrades for a total of 10 systemwide upgrades.”

I am not trying to be argumentative here, I am trying to help clear up the confusion. I appears I haven't been successful in that adventure, so help me understand what we need specifically to clear up the confusion or what additional information needs to be provided to finally clarify this. You don’t think I have it right? We need this scenario documented on Delta.com under FAQs? What specifically do we need to get this clarified or to make the answer official and credible? Why don't you think this is the correct answer?
