Hi everyone - following up on this thread -

I have a Delta Amex Platinum card and my renewal is coming up in a month or so. I’m not traveling at all right now and my wife already has her own of the same card (she chases medallion status, I do not), so I’m considering downgrading to a no-fee version.

I just want to make sure I won’t lose my companion cert - it’s been in my Delta SkyMiles account for almost a year if memory serves correctly, from my last renewal (which was my first renewal).

ive seen conflicting info on this, so I wanted to confirm. I understand them clawing it back if I allow the renewal to occur and THEN downgrade, but wondering if folks can confirm re: my situation. The AF isn’t worth it to me going forward given that the companion cert is the only real benefit I value, and my wife and I together already have two banked with no travel plans anywhere in the near future.

for fuller understanding, my other cards: CSR/CFU/CF, Marriott bonvoy brilliant, Amex gold.

thanks!
