Better off Flying Blue instead of SkyMiles on DL?
OK, this change might put this GM over the edge. Let's review the changes (read: downgrades) that Delta SkyMiles has implemented recently:
1) MQD's
2) Decreased MQM's in certain SkyTeam/Partner programs
3) Lack of Award space availability (or at least, visibility) on SkyTeam/Partner flights
Add to that the fact that I live in MSP and about 1/3 of my flights are with family, so my upgrade percentage is very low.
So, here's my dilemma: I got a match from my Delta GM status to *A Gold, which in turn I got Flying Blue to match at Gold status. With most of the nonstop flights ex-MSP, I'll still fly a lot of DL.
Given that, should I switch over and just earn FB miles from now on?
I'm flying with the family tomorrow, so I need to decide within 24 hours.
