Do you think they will stay there? Is there any reason DL would revisit this and take those miles away? The extra miles actually could make the difference between medallion levels for next year, and he might take a MR trip that he otherwise wouldn't have, because now it only needs to be a 1000-mile trip instead of a 2500-mile trip.

Thoughts?
There have been a number of reports of this (did the SDC maybe end up in full Y, or B? Other cases have involved discount F -> full F), and I don't think anyone has had it clawed back yet. Your friend can probably rest easy...
