Delta status match
I'm looking for ideas here for a unique problem. I flew delta in the 1980s over 2 million miles and because of that I have lifetime gold. However I moved away from Atlanta in early 1991 and my flying on delta was reduced to a few flights a year. I'm in the position to fly well over 125k miles a year now again on delta. However when I requested status match(I'm American executive platinum) they told me they couldn't provide status match since I was already delta gold. After the rejection I even emailed Delta CEO. But my email was sent back to woman in customer service who had rejected the status match and she rejected it again.
Any one have any ideas on how I might get this match so I don't have to wait til the end of the year?
