MR -> PM -> WL Clears. Coincidence?
This past weekend I did a MR to OTP which put me over the Platinum threshhold for my first time. Yay!
This morning I get a "Contact Delta" indication on a May itinerary on which I was confirmed to EDI on NW but waitlisted on my preferred DL flight to EDI, all using SkySaver and in Business class. Turns out I cleared the waitlist. Merry Christmas to me!
I think the timing is just coincidental. Mrs. Pharaoh thinks this is some program which scans itineraries for people who have moved up a notch to see if anything "nice" can be done for them. Your opinions?

I made Platinum last week for the first time in over 10 years. Waitlisted award flights did not clear, so I agree with the above consensus:

purely coincidental - but congrats on making PM and on the clearing of your preferred itinerary.
