WorldClubs 20% renewal discount
Just got an e-mail from NW regarding the conversion of World Clubs and Crown Room Clubs to Sky Clubs. Perhaps the most significant piece of information was this:
The rest of the e-mail:
Renew your membership now* and save 20% by referencing enrollment source code DSC20. Then, forward this e-mail to friends and family so they too can enjoy the 20% savings.
[. . .]
* If you renew now, prior to the expiration date of your current membership, the length of the membership you purchase will be added to your current expiration date.
[. . .]
* If you renew now, prior to the expiration date of your current membership, the length of the membership you purchase will be added to your current expiration date.
Lounging in Detroit, Minneapolis/St. Paul, Frankfurt, Santiago or Tokyo has never been easier.
We're integrating our WorldClubs® into the Crown Room Club® network to create one truly global airport lounge — Delta Sky ClubTM.
Over the coming months, you'll notice updated Delta Sky Club branding as we convert our more than 50 worldwide locations. However, you may continue to enjoy the WorldClubs and Crown Room Club perks you know and expect, including complimentary, fully stocked bars and snacks, personalized flight assistance, satellite TV and Wi-Fi access.
But Delta Sky Club won't be built in a day. We're working hard to convert all lounges by the end of 2009, and lounge locations will continue to honor current WorldClubs membership cards.
And as a WorldClubs member, you now have access to Alaska Airlines Board Rooms® when you fly Northwest-, Delta-, or Alaska-operated flights.
Renew your membership now* and save 20% by referencing enrollment source code DSC20. Then, forward this e-mail to friends and family so they too can enjoy the 20% savings.
So, relax and enjoy a more comfortable and productive travel experience.
Visit delta.com/skyclub for the latest lounge updates.

I just purchased my first one-year membership one week ago today. Do you know if the 20% is good for new memberships or only renewals? Do I have any chance of them reimbursing me 20% ($80)?

From my email: "An initiation fee of $50 applies to all new Delta Sky Club (formerly WorldClubs) members. A new member is someone who has not paid the $50 initiation fee for Delta Sky Club membership or whose annual or three-year membership has been inactive for 6 months or longer."
I think that the initiation fee will apply to people who have never had a membership in either the CR or WC but the wording in the email could be construed to be that since people haven't paid the $50 fee for Sky Club that they'll get charged. I guess I'm just a pessimist lately when it comes to announcements for the "new and improved" airline. Has anyone renewed under this plan and if so, were you charged an initiation fee?

No. If you currently hold an active WorldClubs membership, you are not a new members, and you can take advantage of the opportunity to extend your membership beyond its current expiration date at a 20% discount.

Re-upped
Sounded like a good deal to me. Re-upped for 3 years to 2013. Yikes!
Wish they would re-open the Crown Room - oops, Sky Club - in PHX. The gate agents say no way, but hope springs eternal for Terminal 3 now that both airlines are consolidated.
My confirmation e mail from NW subject is "WorldClub Membership Enrollment Confirmation" To the bitter end...
