Welcome to FlyerTalk and the Delta forum in particular, pcmud!
Because you are inquiring about using your Northwest WorldPerks miles, this thread really belongs in the Northwest forum, which is now its new home.

Back to your question.......You can use miles to upgrade when you purchase a qualifying ticket on Northwest, KLM or Continental. The best you can hope for when flying on DL metal is to get mileage credit.

What About Elite Upgrades?
Does one's NW Elite Status carry any weight with any alliance partners??

The only perk a Medallion would have is the shot at the upgrade.
