Newly Minted Silver Medallion Credentials
I recently made Silver Medallion with Delta for the first time, and while I know they have done away with replacement cards and mailings on requalification for FO and GM, does anyone know if they'll send a new card/welcome pack/etc for FO if its the first time you've achieved it?

Want the drink vouchers? I have four that expire on 02-01-2017. Usually get F or Econ comfort anyway, and rarely drinks on board. So, if that would make you happier :-)

I got an email for FO/GM and a letter in the mail congratulating me (basically same thing as the email) four weeks after that.
Waiting on my PM credentials though. Made PM around mid Dec so I think I'll get them around end of Jan. I did get an email though!

I'm sure I read this here, but Delta is no longer sending out credentials for GM or below.

I received no email for making GM this year but drink tickets magically showed up in my account with no notification.

I am Silver Medallion from being a Million Miler. Previously I received 4 drink vouchers each year, but there are no new vouchers for 2017 in my wallet online. Have any other Silver Medallions received new drink vouchers this year?
