Hit MM last year. Never selected a gift, cause they were terrible. So I guess I don’t get anything except the red plastic MM tags I got last year. Thanks DL

Have you contacted them? They likely dont realize such people exist that never selected a gift despite one being available.

I also agree the gifts were not exciting and I also never made a choice from 10/19. Then the pandemic. I have written them requesting an exception but have not heard back. Could use the $250 gift card.

In my case, I contacted Delta. Eventually, they gave me some cash, but no paperweight and not quite the $350 I should have gotten for 2MM. I'm satisfied.

I got 2MM last year but I never logged in to get my gift. Now I can not locate the email link for it. How can I find the site for the gift?
Thanks for helping!

I’ve been pretty patient, considering the state of affairs over the past year and a half, but have never received any million miler gift. I qualified prior to all the pandemic issues, but was waiting to see if any better options came available.
As we all know, Covid hit and the program was put on hold. I finally attempted to message delta today to see if maybe I slipped through the cracks; the support I received was an embarrassment to delta. I contacted them via message last night. Eventually, I was connected to a representative who said they were looking into the issue. After a long wait, I went to sleep and tried again in the morning. Big disappointment…I can’t imagine there are that many of us in this particular situation. I run a business and my response would be to take care of what’s promised and move on. If they want to close out the program, go nuts, but don’t alienate your customers. I cut out the automated responses and, of course, my personal info. Judge for yourself:

The first text reply was obviously an autobot that picked up on the keyword "select." Happens frequently now. best option is to send a message via the contact - complaint/compliment.
BTW for those temped to sell their award on ebay here are the going prices: 1mm - $125, 2mm - $150, 3mm - $200.

I just use "rep" as my first message each time when using the messaging service -- then it asks you to confirm you want a representative.

This is disappointing
After years and years, I think I will be hitting 1 MM before the end of the year...so disapoointing if there is little or nothing...I would think now--more than ever--they would want to be appreciating million milers...

Just hit 2MM
On an entirely aspirational flight ATL-TUL.
(Ok, was a work trip)
Surprised how quickly the system updates. Flight got in about 5:30pm, and got a personal email from Ed this morning at 5am. He works early!
"Congratulations on achieving 2 Million Miler Status - I want to personally thank you for your loyalty and take a moment to celebrate this extraordinary accomplishment. Very few people become a part of this exclusive group and now, you have arrived."
(Yeah I know, computer-generated etc.)
I guess the $350 gift card is something.
My account already shows 2MM and Gold status for next year (although I'm currently diamond and that's now extended through next year).
Best thing for me is that I am intending to retire in the next 12-18 months, and since I won't be flying for work I probably wouldn't even make gold status on my own ever again. So I've got that going for me. Which is nice.
