I had mine for 14 months before just downgrading to DL Plat today. Since I made DM, I have no need for the free SC but wanted to make sure I used my Companion ticket and got my MQM bonus before doing that.
Wise advice. I didn't think they would/could yank them back. I know this has been discussed time and again on FT, but the best Reserve benefit for me is getting to the top of the UG list. To clarify: If there are several people with different fare classes in my Medallion level waiting for an upgrade, do I go to the top? Or does it also depend on fare class?

Thanks folks!
