105 pages? I hate the nondescriptive titles; is this rumor relevant? Argh.

I only have 16K. If anything happens I will fly the other 9K and burn them all.
Or I could change the FFN on my KE itin to DL.

Good luck finding an award redemption at the 25k level

I get the point of gallows humor, but as this thread degenerates to the usual DL FT inanity, let's keep in mind that the original topic is the single most destructive change to Skymiles since its inception. (IMO, of course.)

This makes T-72 look like child's play.
This is far greater than the insULT controversy.
Removal of PMUs pales in comparison.
Etc.

So perhaps for this one thread we can keep things streamlined by avoiding scores of posts that are inside jokes, off-topic, etc.

If we also discourage rants then we'd have 5 posts and no interest...

Combining the rumored/potential changes with a number of other current missteps, e.g. lack of access to Air France inventory, removing critical functionality from the web booking tool as part of an upgrade, etc., it really seems as if Delta is hitting on all (the wrong) cylinders...

No humor at all, only angry rants?

The good news, 24 hours until the unsubstantiated part of LedgeT's substantiated rumor expires.

I just booked all of my remaining SM for trips late in the year. If they change the rules, they can't change then for booked tickets as I redeemed them under the "old rules" I figure they are in safekeeping until this all shakes out.

I have 10 BE tickets booked..haha, and 175 SM in my account,
