Oh My! Not sure if it is because I am part of Delta 360 but received a nice Christmas gift from Delta today. . . a 750 ml bottle of Johnny Walker Blue and two crystal drinking glasses from Tiffany's. It was quite a surprise for me. I've never received anything like this from a service that I use. Thank you Delta!

You're right! And it seems others are receiving their bottles as well. It may not be news to all of you out there, but it was definintely a surprise to me! I could get used to this treatment! Not sure what I have done to deserve all of this attention but is fun while it lasts.

Guess I'm not getting one.. oh well. After months of trying to get them to fix missing MQDs from a tpac BE flight earlier this year that was routed due to mx, now I'm told the ticket is too old to credit the MQD so I'm out whatever that would've added to my value score.

They don't even matter for this year.
I have a spreadsheet for expense/personal purposes.
(I would just add the fare and YQYR columns where airline=1)
On the spreadsheet I have codes for airlines (i.e. AA=1, AC=2, CX=3, UA=4, BA=5...)
Anyways, this won't matter as whenever AA announces an equivalent change, I can change address (and have applicable proof via passports/ID cards.)

It does not, but it does. It does not affect medallion status, but I am certain that it is used (in conjunction with other scales) for internal purposes, e.g. decide on 360 memberships, support in IRROPS, etc.. If there's MQD calc., I am certain that there is a financial value calc. as well (capturing more than MQD), and everything in the long run will be counted. I am pretty sure that in one way or another, cpm is also part of the calculation.
I really hope that they'd get it fixed for Jan-1, or that the system has a manual override to do corrections.
PS- If DL ever wants to send me a JW blue... thank you, but I do much prefer something else

Received my bottle and Tiffany glasses as well. A very nice gesture although neither the wife or I drink Scotch. The friend I gave it to was thrilled.
Getting a ride w close connections is great! Wife makes the reservations and gives the line a thumbs up as a vast improvement.

Still the nicest gesture Delta ever made was when I returned to flying after a very serious illness. My wife had called to cancel a couple of flights due to the illness and told the then EP line that I would ot be flying for a while. When she made a reservation for me 4 months later, the agent saw from my file I had been ill and told ,y wife they were very glad I was better. Later that day a beautiful floral arrangement was delivered with a card that said welcome ack to the skies.
A lot of you, I am sure won't think much of the gesture, but I thought it was very thoughtful.
