Yeah, my personal spend on Delta last year was around $9,000 USD, and so if the thresholds are correct, I'd have still made PM if these were in effect last year. (My guess is they looked at avg. spend per Medallion level and set the threshold appropriately). This doesn't appear to negatively effect those who actually fly on "normal" fares (7-10cpm).
I like the F-J as I occasionally buy those and the 200% is a nice bump.
And, if RDM earning isn't affected as they state, this will only hurt folks who:
a) use MRs for Medallion status
and
b) don't fly much otherwise (by the spend requirement)
Personally, that sounds reasonable to me. :shrugs:
