“Thanks for being an X medallion”
Interesting thing I’ve noticed over the last 4-6 months that not once have I been thanked for being a medallion.
Not talking about the “Thanks Mr Harris or anything” but simply when checking a bag, going to the sky club, or boarding the flight when scanning boarding pass when they would say “thanks for being an X medallion”
just my experience or have others noticed this too? Not a complaint just more curious.

It has never been a consistent thing in my experience. Maybe 10% I get "thanks for being x medallion", 20% they will make an attempt to say "thank you [my name]", 50% of the time I just get a thank you, 10% of the time it will be some other friendly words, and the other 10% of the time they just scan my boarding pass and say nothing.

I still get it occasionally when boarding. But don't get it on the plane or anything.
I know I've posted this story before, but I laughed pretty hard when my partner had a flight attendant lean over me and say thank you for being a Medallion member (who only had Gold status at the time because I gifted it) while completely ignoring me as a Diamond (as I always am). But the flight attendant was doing what her tablet said, and I suppose Delta believes our spouses have more influence decision on our travel than the primary flyer does I guess..
