We're in the same boat, bradjward. I've exceeded 1.7 MM with DL and could probably have hit 2MM by the end of 2013, but am flying much more on UA now given DL's rising SWUable fares and abysmal award redemption. If DL had a similar MM program as UA, there'd be stronger incentive to stick with them.
