In all these years, it's been rare that I've been delayed by more than 6 hours and not have a forced overnight (which often ends up getting you in the 12+ hour category that some other cards cover). The change from 3 to 6 hours will still be good for those times when you have to get a hotel room (and really good for those times there is a winter snowstorm and you may be stranded for more than one night). However, one of the great uses of the Prestige's coverage was to pay for meals for more common delays of 3+ hours, so it's unfortunate that benefit is going away.
