Last week my "2025 Medallion Status Progress" changed from Silver to Gold. To me, that change signifies that I am starting out as Gold on Feb 1st. Down below it then shows how many MQD's I need for Platinum.

Oddly, two weeks ago when my "2025 Medallion Status Progress" still said Silver, the info below also listed how many MQDs I needed to Platinum, which to me suggested that the change was already in the works as it doesn't make sense if you are Silver to be told what you need to make Platinum, skipping Gold altogether.

My "current status" is still Silver, and that won't change till Gold till Feb 1st.

I think the only Million Milers who will not make Gold on Feb. 1st are those who predominantly flew CRJ-200's, as those monstrosities don't count for anything and I am just kidding with this.

Out of curiosity I went ahead and logged into the website. My 2024 Choice Benefits are there so I anticipate it will reflect correctly on 2/1.

When I originally started flying the CRJ-200's, they were an upgrade to the prop planes that had previously been used on those flights. I actually went to high school with the CEO of Comair who was the first regional carrier to upgrade to jets. I was working in agriculture at the time and was flying into a lot of smaller airports so the CRJ's were a welcome change. After Delta bought Comair, they started replacing a lot of the MD80 flights with CRJ, and any flight over an hour was no fun.

I earned 1MM on Jan 28 and it already shows as gold even though I only qualified for Silver last year. (intentionally because I knew I'd cross 1MM in January and I wanted to maximize the one time rollover benefit)

Same experience - email said silver.

OP's concern is certainly understandable. Unfortunately, no one here can provide exact assurance that OP is probably looking for. But we now have less than 36 hours to wait and find out and for sure (for those who are expecting a bump up in status based on MM status) and, if things don't look right on 1 February (or maybe within a few days if there's not an urgent need for the status) then one should reach out to DL to ask.

At least the various data points point to DL having this one sorted out. Those of us who have MM status are seeing it reflected in our status tracker as our 2025 status already and show the next status level up as what we are working towards (in my case I show my 2025 status as GM and am working towards PM).

Are we looking at the same email? Here's all it says about future MM status levels in my 10/18 letter from Ed. There's nothing personal about it except listing my Skymiles number, current status level (Plat), and mileage balance. Nothing about my future status as a 1MM (which I've been for several years).

Drink Vouchers is Live
 

As of 1/30 status, Drink Voucher is now LIVE, but status, not yet. We can taste it.....just not the metal.

I feel like a child on the night before Christmas, so much anticipation before unwrapping a big gift I’ve been waiting for for so long !! A long wait today before my new status tomorrow !

Check your account. My promotion to DM due to 3MM status occurred three minutes ago at 0100 EST.

My 1MM silver is upgraded to gold as expected. However my existing reservations still show I am a silver (even after re-entering my SM number), I will give it a day or two to see if it syncs up

I got my Gold this morning, so I'm happy.

Check again. My reservations showed my new status level a few minutes ago.

Website also shows me as Gold now (1MM). I could tell the difference as once I hit login it shows my mileage balance in a gold font instead of silver (always thought silver was just the default - hahaha). I also see 4 drink vouchers on the website.

Thanks, DL.

I am now annual 2MM Plat. This actually IS going to get me to fly them more as I am not that far away from 3MM annual Diamond. The funny thing being that if DL had not dropped my main city, I would be on the cusp of annual 360 right now!
