Well, I must be one of the people Delta is trying to get rid of, having requalified PM in 2013 on only $1,177 on spending they counted. If they had counted partner tickets (AM, AF, KL) it would have put it in between silver and gold, but MM status has the silver part covered anyway.
So I either have to fly the miles AND spend at least $5K to get a higher status than what I have, or I might as well spend $0.
So I'll be looking to see if there's someplace else to jump. I've spent about half my flying career at high elite levels on non-DL carriers (not easy if in ATL), but there are fewer choices now.

Yes, I am well aware of the challenge dates. I did in fact email United about this and they adjusted my challenge dates to 4/10/13, so I'm happy now.

Who would I contact, what would I say, and would I include documentation?
Thank you so much, Ms. Steppie
