Am I better off requesting match to DL Silver or Gold? I know that Gold is higher status, but if I get matched to Silver, and then fly 25K miles, could I do a match again at some time in the future (in case I decide to dump AA for DL)?
Delta has soft landing, so if you can get comped to gold and then next year if you fall a little short of 25k then you'll at least still retain silver.
