Still waiting for an upgrade for this Friday's flight. My status has moved to Diamond this morning. Does the computer recognize the elevated status now?
Years ago at least on UA, I know this was not the case...hence my curiosity about DL.

When I did that back in 2011, I didn't get upgraded on any of my segments and I think I had 3 coming back from Hawaii, not counting the Hawaii leg (vacation run). In hindsight, I think I would have called and had my Skymiles number removed and then readded to my ticket because I think I ended up on the upgrade list as a PM, even though I was DM.

I would call and have them remove and re-add your number. I've gotten conflicting information from agents on this (e.g. whether the status at the time of your reservation remains, regardless of your current status). Years ago this was the case. It wouldn't hurt to call and have them do this.

Not Much
I have done this several times and I can assure you the earth does not move.

I was met at my residence by the pilot and first officer in a white horse driven chariot. When I boarded the aircraft, the Delta choir broke out in song. Then, when some Silver Medallion almost accidentally grazed my face with his oversized suitcase, the FA immediately escorted the culprit off the plane. Throughout the journey, I was in the arms of angels.
I really do love Delta. Are you listening Mr. Oscar Munoz how to treat a top elite?
