That's total nonsense! At the time Delta promised old awards would always be available under the old redemption schedule if we maintained Medallion status, the SkyMiles program had already been in effect for about 6 months. There is a big difference between the "Delta Frequent Flier" program and "a frequent flyer program" (of which SkyMiles is an example).

Furthermore there was no "10 years of notice", in fact they notified us that the miles would never expire!
