Any PMs get their packets yet? I honestly don't expect to see mine before March, but one can hope.

IF you get drink coupons, they will apparently be electronic and appear in your wallet on delta.dumb, but I'm not aware that any have been sighted yet.

Nothing yet re drink chits. However, I did notice something interesting today...

Rather than the usual Individual CRC membership, it's now an Executive membership until 3/13/2016. Then, on DL.com, it downgrades back to Individual on 3/14/16-1/31/17.

Maybe I just didn't notice it in the past (or missed an announcement), but is anyone else seeing this? Guess they're trying to get people hooked on the Exec membership by giving it away for 6 weeks?

Did you have some old previous (paid) SC membership?

Never. I always got in via Amex Plat before I earned DM.

Perhaps if you qualified for DM in mid/late-2014, they sent you that version but with an expiration of 1/31/16, and then you just didn't get another set in early 2015?

Yes, I qualified in 2014 for DM for the 2015 program year and received credentials through 1/2016. Now I received my second set last week which are valid through 2017, and the bag tags definitely look different. Personally my tags are almost pristine since I only use them on bags which I bring onboard with me, so I don't really plan to stop using them. Maybe if I ever hit 1MM...

Yeah, there was a thread about this, apparently something to do with the change in program year from ending at the end of Feb to the end of Jan caused some people to get cheated out of a month of SC? So they are giving 1 month of SkyClub Executive or something?

I dunno, it didn't really make much sense to me at the time, since the change from Exec-Individual didn't happen until this year and the Exec memberships stopped last year.

Ah, good point. That would make some sense, logistically.

Looks like after "thinning the herd" packages take longer than before...

Noticed in the release notes for the iOS app version 3.7.1 (available as of today) that the hoou chits will be available through the app in your wallet

I actually prefer that to the printed ones.

Hopefully they'll work correctly. I never seem to have the physical ones on me when I need them.

Doesn't the app not let you log in unless you have an internet connection? I've even had trouble with this while connected to gogo. Wonder how they'll handle that.

This morning I was boarding a KLM flight at AMS through the SkyPriority line. While my BP said SkyPriority, it was printed by DL and it did not say Gold/Eliteplus. The Gate agent asked me to step aside, when I told her I was a Gold and showed the digital card, she was clueless... Ended up giving up and letting me board.

It says I don't have any vouchers at this time. Probably because I still don't have my credentials packet, despite DM status.
