Time change is only 90 minutes so I don't think I get an automatic change in the booking without a fee, but I am planning to try to get in touch with Delta to see if there's any way I can either get back on Delta or get my "bonus". If I hadn't wanted the accelerator bonus I would have booked the nonstop from ATL on Virgin originally... SIGH
The time change doesn't matter. You have a change of carrier so that gives you lots of flexibility. You can cancel for a refund or, if you prefer, probably change to another departure point that has DL metal to LHR since BOS no longer satisfies DL metal criteria.
