Flew 121 segments last year of which 45 weren't on DL/Skyteam. Ended up with Diamond, AA Exec Plat and UA Gold. This change may incentivize me to spend more on Delta depending on what they offer (i.e., more GUCs) but other wise will continue hitting Diamond and then trying to diversify.

Yes. Depending on the options. Would only use spend to bump up to a level if I'm close. Have moved all spend off DL Reserve.
