Not interested in getting a B6 credit card right now, maybe in the future.
Posted about this in the parallel thread in the B6 forum:
Turns out that if you don't keep the status, you don't keep the seats you booked using that status. After status matching in October, I booked BOS-LGW for this coming week, Selected the EMS seats at no cost. Didn't maintain the status and when I logged into my reservation today, it said "no seat assigned" by our names.
It's bad enough to take away the seats that were booked, but at least send an email advising that you've done so. Then I could have bought EMS seats or selected core seats. Now there aren't two seats together on the plane.
Kind of glad I didn't keep the status, DL is for all of their issues, just a much better airline.
