I have now been upgraded, roundtrip for next week's flights connecting in Cleveland, as well.

I have not yet used my DL DM status because I have no reservations with Delta, but for domestic and 2 international J roundtrips between now and May I am very heavily booked with CO...at least once per week.

I can guarantee everyone here that DL could not care less. Too bad for them.

This is all good service, yes. I haven't had as much ug luck as you, but I'm prepared to deal with that in exchange for all the other Star benefits.

But what's also driving these revenue bookings is the high imputed value of the OP mileage. The best experience is when we want to use those nicely accrued OP miles, we know that we can get good value for them without dealing with deceptive booking engines and numerous deliberate barriers to redemption.
