Can you claim choice benefits directly from the DL app?

I've never tried. I always want to do this from my desktop so that I can print the confirmation in case something goes wrong.

Thank you so much for posting this. My wife and I would have lost $400 in benefits. I guess Delta does not send out any reminders.

My SO just earned PM for the first time late last year. Delta did not inform him at all about his Choice Benefits. I wonder if that is the norm.


ETA: I have not received anything reminding me that I've earned the CBs for many years. My only memory was the first 2 years they provided them. Since then no reminders to my knowledge. Have I just missed the prompts?

I'm a little confused by this. Didn't the Choice Benefit earned in calendar year 2014 have to be chosen by last February?

And isn't it the Choice Benefit earned for travel in 2015 that we have to choose by tomorrow?

No what you earn during the year is status in the next year's program. However instead of making you wait, DL let's you have next year's status for the remainder of this year. (Of course if you have earned higher status for this year you continue with it)

Thus 2015 program year status which was earned in 2014, ends tomorrow.

The Choice Benefit earned during 2014 is for the 2015 benefit year. You get to make the choice of what benefits you want until the end of the benefit year. In this case, the 2015 benefit year ends tomorrow.

The Choice Benefit earned in 2015 is for the 2016 benefit year. The 2016 benefit year doesn't end until January 31, 2017. You have 12 months remaining to make the 2016 Choice Benefits choice (the benefits earned during the 2015 calendar year).

Thank you MSP! I just claimed 2015 Benefits. I had a reminder set every year for Feb 15th. Forgot to edit the reminder when DL changed the program year.

Roughly seven hours left, assuming that DL shuts down the website selection at midnight ATL time.

The top of https://www.delta.com/choicebenefits/ page says _2016_ benefits (offers no selection option).

This would appear to be 2016 (earned 2015). Is anyone still seeing 2015 (earned 2014)? TIA.

It might show you what's available for you to select, so people who already selected for 2015 wouldn't see that.

Delta loves when they can write off your benefits from their liability sheet without any cost to them.

......and now it's past midnight in ATL so I would assume that the old choice benefits are gone.

Can anyone see the new ones being offered for selection yet?

My wife was GM until today and now for 2016 she qualified as an FO. Am I able to gift her GM even though she has FO status?
