Received PM package today and noticed that the "drink" coupons now include the option of a non-perishable snack, similar to the HOOU coupons. IIRC, last year's coupons in my medallion package did not have this snack option --- this could come in handy in those cases where the banana and Biscoff bandits are on the loose.

Seems like they are showing up slowly. Mine arrived sometime over the past few days while I was away.
Really, nothing to get excited about this year. Except for a few JWD/HOOU coupons, it is basically tags just like last year. Only other benefit to the new package may be the new Diamond card with your name on it and the new expiration date but that is only important to those who actually use the card for whatever reason.

In the old days they'd release details of the new program when these packages came out. Guess DL's not done fleecing bennies yet?

Correct, previous medallion HOOU coupons didn't include non-perishable snack. Good minor change.

Long time luker- Finally have something to add. Hello to all.
Well, here is a new one. Business associate has been gold for a long time. Last year was no where near plat and they gave him plat. This year, he technically made plat due to Amex reserve spend, but flew very little.
What do you suppose they give him? Diamond. The spend on the AMEX must be the deal, as he pays for many company bills on this. I am really amazed they give this away with very little actual flying being done. Of course me with 100K miles, I am still plat. Lucky guy I guess. Anyone else heard of this?

Your reservation will update when your status updates. If you don't see if update, you can call the medallion desk and have them fix it. Last year I hit GM in March after I had booked an international trip for June. My status updated on my reservation and I was able to get EC for 1/2 off.

Have all of the packages been received?... just wondering, I am on a two week Int'l and returning first week in Mar. Nothing changes as I will still be Diamond and it will show up on my boarding pass, but the cards "expires" Feb 2012. I live in the worst US postal code in the country and the sad fact is that the postal workers recognize it too.

My Plat coupons from last year included snack items. I still have a couple left over. I doubt my coupons are unique. The coupons from Skybonus are beverage only, perhaps you are confusing the two.
