Ten days ago I again gifted my son Silver (this time from a SkyBonus account) for the 2022 year to help with preferred seating and baggage fees. His updated status was reflected on pending reservations within 24 hours. All very smooth.

I just checked an upcoming reservation of his and I find that Delta just extended the prior ‘gifted’ status from 2021. Now he shows again as Gold and companion is again Silver.

Glitch, or did Delta have a change of heart and decided yesterday/today to extend ‘gifted’ status?

It's almost like Oprah Winfrey with cars.
