I may have missed it, but has Delta stated that somewhere? I see this below. I'm earned DM and managed to be #1 today on ATL-SFO. Normally I'm a few pegs down the ladder, so I thought it might be the Earned benefit. It stands to reason the benefit would be applied as of Jan 1, just as achieving status during a normal calendar year would.
Medallion Members who earned Status for the 2022 Medallion year by meeting the published qualifications in 2021 will have Complimentary Upgrade clearance priority over Medallion Members who received extended Status through the extensions announced on July 28th, 2021.
