After reading the "When is Medallion Elite Status Effective? The Definitive Thread" and reading the Medallion Benefits PDF on Delta.com I was under the understanding that when you hit 25k, congrats, you've got Silver. But I was told my 25k that I flew this year only qualified me for Silver status for 2008?

Her first day or am I really misunderstanding the rules?
