Try doing a search in FT on the same topic. Lots of threads and advice to read through.

This comes up several times at the end of every year. You MIGHT get lucky and Delta do it but you better not count on it. I would be very surprised if you would ever get anyone at Delta to tell you in advance that it will be OK. After all, they want you to fly more this year.
But the bigger point if the line isn't 75,000 where should it be? 74,750? 74,000? 73,500? 70,000? I would just assume that they draw the line where the line is drawn at 75,000.

i was 95 miles short last year and didn't get comped, so i wouldn't count on it, but it doesn't hurt to ask (i didn't ask).

Depending on your flying pattern for next year it might be better to drop down to GM and get a whole bunch of rollover miles. Also I believe Delta is having some sort of MQM for charity donations. Tax writeoff and you get up to PM
