choosing DM Choice Benefit
I will be making DM status next week. I chose RUC as my benefit for PM, will I get additional benefits to use this year as a DM or will I have to wait until next year for them?

I thought this was going to be a thread announcing new options 
You will get the DM benefits as well. This will also be true for any future year where you may qualify as DM -- you'll get both the PM and DM choices.
Note also that you do *not* necessarily have to select the PM choice first before making a DM selection.

Note that you will be choosing DM benefits for the 2020 program year (you won't get another set of DM choice benefits next year unless/until you requalify for DM status again).

They will let you choose them in 2019, but you won't get another set of DM choice benefits on Feb 1, 2020 as they are 2020 program year choice benefits. You only get one set per DM qualification. You will have to re-qualify for DM next year before you get another set.

Sorry if I'm being dense. If I choose the delta sky club membership in a few weeks for example will I get access to the lounge this year and next? Appreciate the help
