Ok, if you sign on now, does it expire at end of 2019 or one year from date of joining? Same question re drink coupons.

Amazingly enough this question is also answered in the T&C @:-)

Do any other airlines offer something similar to this at the moment?

Not as far as I know. This is really a first for the industry, and I wouldn't be surprised if other airlines quickly followed suit. This can literally only make money for them.

Not much to figure out. This is simply another revenue stream for Delta with little cost to them. Most people won't use all the drink coupons and if they do, Delta's cost is minimally in comparison to actual cost of drink.

Delta's Basic Economy landing page still says, "Basic Economy travelers are not eligible for paid or complimentary access or upgrades to premium seats, including to Delta Comfort+® or Preferred Seats; and no paid access to Priority Boarding." Guess they will need to change that last part!

UA has a couple of subscription-based benefit programs, but at a higher price than DL's. There's an annual subscription to get economy plus seats for free on every flight when you book a regular seat ($599) and a checked bag subscription for 2 free checked bags per flight ($349).

Perhaps not too surprising the Delta would try unbundling boarding (and drinks) to see if there's a market willing to buy it as a subscription.

I have and I have contacted Delta on the phone and they said they cannot enroll me over the phone, now put in a complaint by email, so far no responses. How annoying for Delta to offer something you want but they won't allow you to enroll!

IIRC the UA Y+ subscription includes slightly improved lines at the airport and somewhat early boarding.

One could also argue that some credit cards include similar perks. If someone gets the credit card for the airline perks (and especially if they don't use the card much otherwise), it's similar but of course this DL version is available to any USA resident who's over 21, no credit check necessary.

I was able to complete my enrollment, by following a hunch suggested from a Delta twitter response.

The enrollment popup requests your address. Just copy your Address Line 1 from your Delta SkyMiles profile. This will generally be your street and number, without a city and state. Allow the software to learn your City and State from your Zip Code. This worked for me.

The problem is either the software doesn't want your explicit City and State, or the line with the street, number, city, and state is too long. Anyway, the enrollment worked for me, with only Address Line 1 and my Zip Code.

Worked! No comment on why Delta made this program so difficult to enroll in!

At least you can be sure you're not being scammed. Only DL IT would be able to put such a dysfunctional sign-up form live.

Wondering if AMEX Plat would pick this up as reimbursable incidental charge.
I signed up and got my reimbursement yesterday.

I think you're the first person to confirm that the Delta Select program is reimbursable through the Amex Platinum card airline credit program. Thanks!
