Nothing for me and at least one other EU based Medallion. Suspect this is for USA based Medallions only?

This was pretty funny.
I bailed on DL this year (only flew 60k miles) yet they said I made diamond again (even though I refused to hit the $ limits).
If this was designed to get me to like DL again they probaly need to a bit more then send me sanitized nonsense about how well they treated me (even though they really did not treat me all that well).
DL, if you are reading this know that your policies drive our decisions as flyers, not stupid videos.

I think it’s kind of Cool. Although it got the distance flown incorrectly and the mileage trip wasn’t mine.
Says I flew 47,757 miles but it was like 70k excluding MQM bonuses. But I think it could’ve been a bit more personalized.

I think they were tracking actual miles flown, vs MQM. My work tracks actual (MEM to ATL is 331 miles, not 500 MQMs), and the DL miles flown number in the video tracked very close to my work travel agent miles flown number. If you fly a bunch of sub 500 mile hops it could add up to a big discrepancy between you actual miles flown and your MQMs.

I took "8" business trips (more like 17 but ok) also curious how they figure out what is business and what is not
Also hilarious that I got a "choice benefit" that was a really special moment for me......
My favorite "fact" about me was that I traveled to Las Vegas AND Monrovia Liberia which never mind the fact I have never been to the continent of Africa but DL does not even fly there anymore!!!! (FYI DL I didnt cash in any miles for any trips in 2017 or for that matter this year either)
Oh and before I forget #deltamedallionlife

I think it was a cute/nice gesture - only problem was mine had the wrong cities visited listed. I was racking my brain trying to figure out when I went to Venice - that's when you know you travel too much, you can't remember all the places you've been
