Delta Needs to Clarify Choice Benefit Eligibilty for 2024

If you get the status via MQDs, you'd get the choice benefits.

We shall see. I wish this would be clarified quickly b/c I have some decisions to make!
Yeah, this is an issue. I'm a 2023 Diamond who is sitting on Gold status for 2024 with no Amex because I saw Delta completely nerf'd my travel fun. Now the year is mostly gone, and time is rapidly disappearing for usable MQD runs. We don't know if 100k MQM DIamond renewals will come with or without Choice Benefit's.
