Why won't Delta offer Diamonds a free cocktail or beer?

I've been successful in getting a few more by asking CS. Use them for when flying with family.

You get four per level you reach. Good for one year from date of issue. However current elites get screwed, in that we get only 4 regardless of level at start of new elite year. (Thus ours expire one year later on Feb 1)

In my case we get a per diem, but I would rather spend that on real food at a real restaurant and not at a snack on a plane. Some companies do not allow you to expense liquor, or only allow it if it is part of a meal. Companies have all sorts of fun (read that stupid) policies. I worked at one where you couldn't expense Lunch. Brunch yes, Lunch no.

They used to. It was a coupon called Have One On Us that printed out with your ticket. It went away with C+.

Those were nice, but they expired a day or so after the flight (to allow for IROPs and other rebookings), so they couldn't easily be stockpiled or gifted. Also, it helped to be near a printer when you did OLCI.

+1 for both print-to-PDF from the full web site, or screenshot from the app, have had success both ways.

WDBF = Want Drinks Buy First. /smirk. 
To clarify, I'm a drunk, not an alcoholic; alcoholics go to meetings.
I find it important to maintain equanimity with other people in a pressurized metal tube. Alcohol makes other people so much more tolerable....
