So after the DL profiling thread and fun we had, it got me thinking, does DL increase award availability based upon just elite status? We know the answer is now, but what about CC status? Does a Plat Amex see more than Gold Amex? Reserve more than plat?

So, playing around with a random itinerary wondering if you call could help me.

Itin: MSP-ATL March 2nd. Y and F

What we need is:

Not logged in (no status) - done
Logged in (no status)
FO (no Amex)
FO (Blue Amex)
FO (Gold Amex)
FO (Plat Amex)
FO (Reserve Amex)
GM (no Amex) - done, more low options than DM Blue
GM (Blue Amex)
GM (Gold Amex)
GM (Plat Amex)
GM (Reserve Amex) - done
PM (no Amex)
PM (Blue Amex)
PM (Gold Amex)
PM (Plat Amex)
PM (Reserve Amex)
DM (no Amex)
DM (Blue Amex) - done - no increase in low over kettle (not logged in)
DM (Gold Amex)
DM (Plat Amex)
DM (Reserve Amex) - done - more low's with connection, more medium availability over DM with Blue

I'd did the first one (not logged in) and DM (Blue). Please help out and post. Flight numbers listed below, / indicates connection. I'm only going by the search results, not doing any manual forcing. Use the options below to cut and paste to save time. If you only want to post direct non-stop flights, then just do that. I put more info in for additional info.

Right now logged in (as DM with blue card) only helps on 2 flights in Y going from med to low.
