I was in a colleague's office today as he opened his snail mail and he received his Diamond credentials, good through 1/2018. He qualified in early October.

I am not sure if I should call BS or not.. :confused::confused::confused:

Didn't you get an email. I hit PM last week and then got an email saying that I would receive something within 4 to 6 weeks. My wife hit earlier and hasn't gotten anything yet, but it's still in the window.

I did get the e-mails. To be honest all I saw was the boilerplate thank you and and canned platitudes.
I will go into my e-mail archives to see when they came.

Hit GM earlier this month, will hit PM mid Nov. However, I recall getting drink coupons for hitting GM last year, and I have none in my digital wallet nor did I get an email for the congrats on hitting GM(Not expecting creds). Anyone else seeing this, or is this a one-off experience?

Just hit Diamond, no drink coups, JWDs, or any reference to them at GM or PM.

I also hit GM in September and did not receive an acknowledgement email from Delta (or new drink tickets in my wallet).

Last year I received both email from Delta and physical package (card, luggage tags and drink coupons).

It looks like a pattern to me - no love for GMs from Delta this year.

JWDs are still mailed out. I just go a set last month when hit PM requalification, and another set this month when hit requalification for DM. HOOU took a week to appear after hitting each level for GM, PM and DM.

I'm still annoyed that PMs only get two. I guess we're only supposed to have two great customer service experiences per year.

I know you're being at least slightly snarky/tongue-in-cheek :) but even if you run out of JWDs (or had great service from someone who is ineligible to receive JWDs) you can still write in a compliment via the web contact form. The responses I've gotten indicate they're extremely appreciated.

If I'm on a regional carrier, I usually send a Tweet to the regional's account, and loop DL in too. I guess I should start using the web form when I run out.

Do you get new DM bragtags every year you hit DM? Roughly when do they go out - after you achieve status, or at the start of the new year? 2017 will be my 2nd DM year, and like I said above, I've gotten nothing from DL this year as I went thru G/P.

Unless one is promoted to a higher level nothing is to be expected until the new year

Diamond through 1/16?
 
I just received my Diamond credentials in the mail. That's the great news.

Now the not so great news ...

They are valid through January 2016. And I am only Platinum this year.

Why did Delta send me expired credentials?

At least the included drink coupons are valid through the end of the year.

Never received anything when I hit PM at the beginning of the year.... Do they not send them to international addresses?

Took about a month but just received Plat packet.
