We have always been allowed in the Skyclub when traveling to anywhere in the Caribbean with a BC ticket but this must be a recent policy change. I could say a few more negative things about Delta but won't since I have a couple of trips booked on DL. We are not BT, just travel for pleasure and are SM status. Was GM at one time but it is hard to maintain traveling for pleasure.
This has been the DL policy for many years (many past threads over the years in the FT DL forum on the Caribbean restriction). If they have let you in in the past, you were just lucky.

It's a bit bizarre to be whining about DL's policy when AA is even more restrictive than DL in terms of access. DL allows access on Canada/Mexico flights, while AA does not grant access for either the Caribbean or Canada/Mexico flights (except Mexico City).
