DL is rethinking its program... to the detriment of us all.

I have learned in life that very few things are to the detriment of all. In the case of reef58 and myself, if Delta gives status based on spend, not BIS, he will probably gain and I will probably lose.

Yeah, I know this list isn't terribly impressive, but it's all I can think of...
Hmm, you got pretty much every item wrong. NW miles didn't expire, they had 50% class or bonus for biz fares, and 500 mile minimum per segment.

I buy a lot of short notice 24 to 48 hour 4 segment 2000mqm $800 tickets. A lot being relative of course.
