Same here. Got one a couple days ago, and nothing had changed, and of course no upgrade. I think their system is still confusing C+ "upgrades" and F upgrades.

Agreed. I emailed to complain about the "upgrade" I cleared 2 months ago to C+ and that the email was nothing more than misleading, and the email response was "sorry, must be some glitch and I'll forward to IT to correct." Of course when I also tweeted DL their response was "you WERE upgraded to W from V, congrats!" To which I replied, "2 months ago!" To which DL tweeted back "congrats on your upgrade!"

Congratulations on your complimentary medallion upgrades, writes Delta at T-4.
In the past I have received such emails when a seat had been upgraded.
This time the seats are the same as they have been for the past 2 months: one C+, waiting for an F upgrade, and a regular economy on the connecting TATL (no C+ available).
Is this how Delta mocks Medallions these days ?

Your post drove me to DL.com.
Fortunately, my UG e-mail yesterday was legitimate.
Unfortunately, I can't imagine that this IT glitch is high on the priority list to fix. But, perhaps. we will be surprised.

To make me whole, on average, I have been upgraded to F and Delta did not send me an email celebrating the event. Good thing I checked and was able to pick a good seat.

DL is tweaking their software for the day when C+ will be all you get at T-5 (or 3 or 1 for GM and FO). FC will only be available to paid tickets or RUC.
I've been 0/6 for upgrades, with 3 flights having no FC seats available 2 days before flight.

Flying next week:
PIT/JFK/ORD
ORD/ATL/MEX
I'm already UG'ed at the DM window on all flights. On the way back MEX/ATL/LAX on Friday, the ATL/LAX leg isn't lookin' too good with 5 F seats left on a B752, but, since I book far in advance, I have what I consider to be the bestest Y seat on the plane.
