BEWARE DELTA MILLION MILERS - Just learned after calling Delta that the Lifetime Status Benefit for MILLION MILERS is likely to change - depriving those of us that have flown Delta for all of our lives of the benefit of maintaining a Lifetime Level of status consistent with your lifetime miles.

I am just 49,445 miles short of 3,000,000 miles with Delta having flown them exclusively since 1980.

Currently:
1M miles gives your Silver Status for your lifetime,
2M miles gives you Gold Status for your lifetime
4M miles gives you Platinum Status for your lifetime

This is also what the Delta website tells you when you sign on.

NO LONGER ----- THAT IS IN THE MIDST OF BEING DISCONTINUED AND YOU WILL GO TO THE BOTTOM OF THE PILE REGARDLESS OF YOUR LONG-TERM STATUS WITH DELTA !!!

My 10 digit Delta FF# starts with "0" --- the current FF# for even the newest flyer are all at the least 999,999,999 FF # numbers greater - I have flown Delta for a long time.

I am such an unbelievable supporter of Delta that this disappoints me more than it damages me. I could fly another airline now that I have retired and probably save money but don't know where to look.
