Well, there are also the heritage logos, in case you get homesick for Delta on your weekend off.

For those who qualified earlier in 2022, and feel like they got short-changed there is a FAQ item here: https://www.delta.com/us/en/skymiles.../million-miler

I reached Million Miler prior to the new gift program. Am I eligible to participate in the new program’s gift selection offer?

If you hit a new Million Miler threshold in 2022, you are automatically eligible to access the new Million Miler gift site through 12/31/2022. Please visit deltamillionmiler.com to select your gift before this date.
I hit 1MM in 2021 so can't test this out ("Account not eligible" ), but someone else should and report back...

Wow. I hit 1MM Dec 28th. How frustrating.

I'm done - @ 1MM, I was sent some stationary and a notebook. At 2MM, I got a Hartman with handles so short I need to squat to use it. At 3MM, I got the $500 cert. I've always been just behind the curve!

Bob
Advice? Bahaha. Well... would you pay $1250 for the wine, toy plane, logo plaque or overnight bag? No? Me neither... Seems like a no brainer to me.

Yeah, this blows for those of us that still flew and gave them our business in 2021. I requalified diamond “organically” in 2021 while also crossing 1MM in Nov 2021 (and will qualify for 2023 also, but not relevant I guess). I wonder if they will allow us to pick something if we send in a Contact Us form……………

Sounds like something I’ll volunteer to test!

I’ll report back next year when I hear back from them.

I hit 2 Mil on Jan second, and found that site via a google search after seeing this thread. there is a huge difference between a $350.00 gift card and a $1,250.00 gift card. the additional items are not worth $900.00, especially the DL logos. I have not fully crafted my complaint letter to DL yet

imagine being upset that you got a gift because other people got better gifts. Some of the posts in this thread could benefit from watching Bluey.

Is that actually a 1250 gift card? Or is there a chance its actually a 250 but there is a typo on the selection page?

Its in my wallet now, showing $1250. I think this is the first gift card I ever had. What is puzzling is that it doesn't just appear in my wallet, i have to enter a 13 numeral code and a 9 character PIN to see it. If I leave the wallet and come back and come back, I have to enter the digits again. These 22 numbers appeared in an email after I selected the choice. I'd hate to think that losing that email could cost me $1250.

does it have to be spent in one shot or can you spread it across multiple tickets?

Imagine not understanding that $900 is a significant difference in value. Well for most anyway.

Sure, but it's a gift. They don't tell you you'll get something worth $1250 when you hit 2MM. They don't even tell you it will be worth $350. Honestly, most people (all?) with 2MM are just flying around on someone else's time (or as an expense of a business they run) anyway. The gift is just that, a gift.

All anybody is owed is:
Annual complimentary Medallion® Status and special bag tags and to choose from a curated selection of gifts, as that is all that is promised.

Wait...laughing...you are telling me that while my BIS on my 2 million miles, I was flying on someone else's time? What happened to my time?
