I am only an occasional flyer and while Delta is my most frequent, I typically just fly whatever is cheapest. As such, I have never reached any sort of status with Delta in the past. When I looked at my MQMs and MQS from last year it did not appear that I hit the benchmarks needed for Silver status.
Anyone ever have something like this happen before? Obviously, I like having the status. I am just trying to figure out if I am missing something. Thought maybe it was tied to some promotion or related to a rollover maybe.
I was shocked late last year to find my Silver Medallion luggage tags in the mail one day. I only had one round trip (DTW-PHL) last year, so I figured some combination of rollover miles plus a large Amex spend put me over the top for the first time in around 20 years (on PMNW). I know from experience that my Silverness plus a couple of hundred bucks will get me an upgrade to the East Coast, so I think I have realistic expectations about the value of being a Silver member.
