Very extensively discussed here over the past couple years. Amazing that as a Diamond, you haven’t seen this before.

Lots of possible reasons but bottom line, DL holds back complimentary UG’s. I can count on one hand the number of times/yr I receive an UG at the early window, much more often 1-2 days before the flt. Yes, frustrating to see so many empties up front but this is DL policy.
