statusfast Promotion
I got the promotion in the mail, and I signed up for it. It happens that I had 8 segments this month, but I completed these segments before I signed up, as I just got the letter today. The promotion states that existing reservations during the qualification period will count, but what if I already took the flights?

I hate this. Only 12 segments to get Gold in three months? That wouldn't even put you on track to get actual gold, which requires 60 segments in 12 months.
Who knows how many thousands will now be added to the GM rolls and be competing with me for upgrades. What a devaluation.

Anyone traveling ATL-RDU regularly is going to make out like a bandit, but for most people, I would think that the miles they would earn on six flights in three months should be at least the 12,500 miles they would need every three months to get Gold under the normal rules.

This, and the 3 other "Thank You" promos for Elite retention, have been on the Promo Sticky, as the #1 item for a while now.

This might be the biggest insult to loyal FO and GM's I've ever seen... 26k mqm's and 30 mqs thus far in 2011. What is my motivation to continue with DL and not switch to FL?

That's my rant for the day. Who am I kidding, I'll grab my ankles and take whatever DL gives me, like always. Living in ATL and being beholden to any airline other than DL is like buying a Chevy in Moscow during the Cold War.
