Delta told me today that their "Other Airline Status Match" promotion runs from June 1, 2006 through June 30, 2007.

The promotion information stated that if credentials were received before July 1, 2006, then status would be granted only until Feb 2007. If, however, credentials were received on or after July 1, then status would be granted through Feb 2008. (Note, this seems to firmly establish last year's "magic date.")

Presumably, the "magic date" will be the same this summer. The problem, however, is that there is no promotion currently in the system for '07-'08. Is this normal, or is it possible that Delta will no longer offer matches after June 30th?

I'd like to request a match, but only after the "magic date" (in order to gain status through Feb '09). If I wait until July 1st, though, might I be left out in the cold?
