So far so good! Delta accepted my Medallion status challenge and bumped me to gold status. I booked 2 STL-LAS flights, 1 STL-LAX and 1 STL-SEA and the cost difference between Delta and AA saved my company $650 apples to apples. Delta automatically requests complimentary upgrades so we'll see what happens. Not flying in 30 year old planes will take some getting use to but I'll manage.
On top of the status match, I canceled my Citi Executive Card since I won't be re-upping my Admiral's club membership after 20 years. They are refunding me the $450 annual fee since I canceled before 37 days and today I received 50,000 bonus points in my AA account since I had spent $5,000 in the first month. Gotta love it!
I'm sure I will still fly AA when the cost and convenience make sense...have too many years invested in them but looking forward to testing out Delta. Will report back good or bad.
Happy Memorial Day to all!
