Have u checked your wallet on the web-site to see what's printed on the card there?
In my case of a lowly Gold the wallet card does show basic MM status so I just added a "2" ahead of the "MM" and printed it out complete with the bar code

The new tags however do not have MM status noted, just the new Red ones

Also, not a big fan of going all digital, because:
1. There are people in the world who still have non smart phones (my Dad, for one).
2. And, there are places where data access is not readily available (I cannot get emails on my phone in China, for example) and I don't do apps (except Uber). So in this instance, how would one pull up their digital membership card?
But I am sure I am an oddity in this, as in most other things in life.
Thx

Not sure what's particularly objectionable about the app. The upsides are enormous (gate information alone is huge) and the downsides are... I'm not sure???

The delta app has an offline mode, you can still access your card when data/wifi are switched off (and on iOS you can simply add the card to the wallet (which also does not require active data) and delete the app if you want)

I'm guessing you're using android? On iOS the app has never asked me for access to contacts and it works fine without location access.
I haven't used android in a while but my memory is that it's similar to iOS in that you can deny an app's access request and the app will still run (with, perhaps, reduced functionality). So just ... don't let it access your contacts?

My PM packet arrived last week, finally. I am unhappy that we don't have a physical membership card any more. I used to show it at Virgin/Skyteam lounges overseas.

That said, both phones allow me to disable that permission.

Part of me hopes my phone will die sometime soon so I can justify replacing it with an Android.
