How Many DL Elites Are There??
I just got my GM card today and I was looking in the top right hand corner and saw what looks like a serial number.
The format is seven digits and my number is "around" 0000400. My replaced Silver card is "around" 0001250. My old plane jane regular skymiles card has a number in the bottom right that is "about" 0041100.
I approximated these numbers in case there is some private info in them.
My real question is whether or not these "serial numbers" are representative of how many SM members are in each tier, as in about 41,000 regular members, about 1300 silvers, and about 400 golds, at least as of the time the card was made.
Does anyone have any more solid figures about the number of Silver, Gold, and Platinum Medallion members there are?

You must be joking....
There are probably around ten million regular members, probably around one million Silver members, 500.000 Gold members and at least 100.000 Platinum members out there (in the US alone). Well, these numbers are only a wild guess, but I think thery come much closer to reality than yours

I think this question has been asked and not answered at least 5555.555 times on FlyerTalk. It's proprietary DL information, zealously protected, probably a trade secret.
