I just checked their website and found that their ORD to DEN flights are no longer hourly, no longer on 747s (737s and 757s now) and are no longer being flown by just one airline (United's website lists Continental flights).
A decade ago, Delta's frequent-flier program was about encouraging more airtravel.... nowadays it is solely an Amex marketing program.
