Email: Upgrade Now And Get A Bonus Gift Card
Hi FTers!
i received an email from Delta today asking me to upgrade my PDX>MSP flight into C+ and I’d receive a $30 gift card.
I went to look at the flight and how much the upgrade would be literally 5 minutes after receiving the email. The C+ and First upgrades were no longer available.
Has anyone else seen this email and/or had this issue?
thanks!

So? Are you saying that the C+ "upgrade" was unavailable when you looked? Alternatively, what was the price (compared to the $30 gift card)? And was it a DL gift card or could you pick AmEx etc.?
Can we assume that you don't have status, so that there was no chance of a free elite "upgrade" to C+?

Im currently silver so rarely see upgrades, but I’m almost gold and should earn platinum this year!
anyways, just thought that the email itself was strange in the first place. Second, strange that I checked upgrade availability just after receiving the email and it wasn’t available.

Is FCM stooping so low that we are using bribery and marketing tricks to fool people to buy F?

What do you think a frequent flyer program is to begin with ?
