still no 2010 choice online, still no repsonse to yesterdays email. But then it did snow earlier this week, so they probably don't answer emails when it has snowed recently.....ok sorry for the sarcasim....

Same here, as I checked just now..... No 2010 DM choice yet!!

Add me to this one as well. I called again only to be told that I do not qualify for the 2010 Choice Benefit. C'mon Delta!

Good God, give them a little while to work it out. They have said they will honor it and they will.

Wow, you are very optimistic. Have fun with that... I do trust that Delta will do what is right, but squeaky wheel gets the oil my friend. Unfortunately, if the wheel doesn't squeak, it will be forgotten.

They will.... They are just slowly processing everything. I just got the email from Delta telling me my 2010 choice was now available. This was after recieving the same exact emails everyone has been reporting here, numerous times. Just give it a few days and your choices will be up.

Have there not been several posts right here saying that they are having technical issues with it and are working on it? Plus, some people, like me, already got 2010 PM, 2011 PM, 2010 DM, and 2011 DM benefits. Clearly, they never intended to give away this many benefits but they are sticking to it.

Squeaking the wheel time after time after time on an internet message board doesn't get any WD-40.

Wouldn't it be easier to wait the 7-10 days that they said it would be and see if that works and ..... about it again after that if it doesn't happen?

Point made, but this is a forum and I have every right to be a squeaky wheel... Happy New Year

please clarify?
 
i'm having trouble understanding exactly what the issue is. Can someone clarify?

jbcarioca Dec 31, 2010 1:27 am

I agree with indufan. I have been quite squeaky, but they have sent me perfectly convincing emails asking for 7-10 days. It's the end of the year, they have had blizzard. I am willing to wait. I don't want to redeem immediately anyway.

Not a creature was stirring. Not even a mouse.
 
On Twitter we tweet
On FT we Squeak
.. everybody squeaks about something.

If you aren't squeaking about Delta - you're squeaking about people squeaking about Delta.

Everybody's gotta sqeak sometime. (REM)

If the issue is important to you - then squeak about it. When an issue is important to those that squeak at you for squeaking at Delta ... trust me - they squeak about it too.

I had my 2 Platinum choices this year - and thanks to all this squeaking - I have 2 Diamond Choices waiting for me to pick for 2010/2011 Nice.

It appears that a lot of people are "squeaking" about this. This is the response that I got about the 2010 Choice Benefit not being available:

Dear XXXXXX,

Thank you for your e-mail describing the problem you experienced.

Please accept our apology for the delay we have caused in making your
2010 Choice Benefit selection. Due to our system error we need to
process your SkyMiles account manually before selecting your Choice
Benefit. Please allow additional 3-4 weeks for this to complete. We
appreciate your patience and understanding regarding this matter.

XXXXX, as a Medallion member, you are an integral part of our
customer base and we are always interested in your feedback. Thank you
for taking the time to write. We deeply value your business.

Sincerely,

XXXXXX XXXXXX

Incredible. I never implied that you didn't have a "right" to say whatever you want here but I can too. Might I suggest picking happiness in 2011.

jjglaze77 Dec 31, 2010 9:58 am

I just qualified for DM with flights yesterday. Status was updated today. Upon going to the Choice benefits page, I was offered both 2010 & 2011 DM benefits. I haven't kept up with this thread, but as I understand it this is not what people were being offered. It seems to be fixed, at least for me. Thanks to all the "squeaky wheels!" I didn't even have to submit a question on the matter! So, in all this year:

Oct 8 - PM - 2010 & 2011 benefits were available for selection
Dec 31 - DM - 2010 & 2011 benefits were available for selection

Thanks DL!
