Thanks for the helpful comments guys.
Just have a question about Delta - will I get the SkyTeam Elite Plus benefits for sure if I was matched to Platinum? As I noted from Delta's status match page
"A Medallion membership card will be not issued for the 90-day qualification period. You may enjoy Medallion benefits on Delta or Delta Connection by logging in at delta.com or providing your SkyMiles number when making reservations or at check-in. During the 90-day period, you will not have access to all reciprocal Medallion benefits with Delta's partner airlines, including access to SkyTeamŽ lounges."
It seems like that I wouldn't be getting any SkyTeam benefits?
