Despite extreme efforts on my part, Delta refuses to have the capitalization match on the way my middle name appears in the two places. The real problem is that when I try to buy a ticket in Delta.com, it now populates (or only recognizes the skymiles account of) my name with 4 names, the usual first and last, but with the middle name appearing twice -- once in all caps and the other time with initial cap. I can no longer buy tickets online and have to buy them on the telephone because of this problem. Delta claims to be working to resolve this problem, but insists that, no matter what, I cannot change the capitalization of my middle names in the two places -- they must appear different (seems bizarre to me).
Oh god. You're right. The same thing is happening to me now. I hope they fix this soon.

By the way, I've been told it's necessary to update each individual reservation that was made prior to when they inserted my middle name because THAT record has to match all the others (secure flight info, government ID, boarding pass). I just called up the Diamond desk and she did this for me. We'll see if it helps me get the three beeps at Pre-check again.
