I understand a predicted drop of upwards of 75% is hyperbolic. I do see a drop of 30 to 40% being more realistic. It will be interesting to see where the balance between those willing to spend more and put up with less benefits and those who decide to just move on lands. I anticipate that the scale will tip towards those who choose not necessarily to move on from Delta but certainly to move on from the higher priced, lowered benefits card. Since my renewal falls later in the year, I have time to see if the numbers of those who may decide to part ways with the Reserve card in the early part of 2025 has any bearing on DELTA's plan. I've got some time to work with and decide.
