All in all, I'm happy with Delta elite program......will endeavor to earn gold status in 2016 for 2017.
It really depends on your travel pattern. As PM/DM in NYC, flying to MSP a lot, I get very few upgrades. (Most of my other flying is to SFO, so medallion upgrades don't apply.) Other flights I have a fairly good, not great, success ratio.
