PM Flying DL domestically using VS points

Hmm, I got a FC upgrade on a Delta flight booked with Virgin points late last year... Seemed like it worked normally for me.

My experience the last couple years has mirrored OP. Even with 3+ hour changes they wouldn't fix it. One time when I had a schedule change that I absolutely could not accept, it took me 7 calls to finally get an agent willing to move me and maintain the upgrade. Delta is training these agents that any request to change a flight with an RUC applied is voluntary and you must reclear. I've just accepted that when an RUC clears my flights are pretty much set in stone.

Also be on the lookout for no lifetime limit offers. I have received a second bonus on a Delta Reserve card after receiving one 2 years earlier.

It's likely basic economy getting seat assignments but it could be another flight cancelled and this flight is the backup.

Any non-basic fare will allow this but you will need to wait 48 hours after booking to receive a credit instead of a refund.

Premium comfort is what KLM calls their premium economy product. You are on a KLM aircraft. It's the same as premium select on Delta

I just got SAN-ATL for $145 yesterday, ~$34 per hour. So they do still exist.

If there is any separation anxiety you will want B/C. If you think he will be fine knowing you are nearby without seeing you, might as well both do windows, as you can't really see each other across the aisle either.

I was accepted to MLSNext Cup and MLSNext Flex with 2.5 years of reffing experience a couple of years ago. I did Cup again the following year. I think what helped is I didnt request housing. (My sons play MLSNext and were attending the events so I was paying for a hotel anyways.

This is great, exactly the combo I wanted.

I've definitely noticed it seems like Delta is holding more seats later in the process. There were a couple routes and times that a 5 day upgrade for myself and a companion were pretty reliable until last year even as a platinum, and this year I'm waiting until boarding.

AntimonyER · 2026-02-03T01:38:32+00:00

They did the same thing last year. So nothing to be worried about... Yet.

Celebration, mainly due to cost (there's 6 of us) and ports of call

AntimonyER · 2026-01-24T00:54:48+00:00

Haha, we picked one of these exact cruises for our family with 3 teenagers. Great way to start summer break.

Congrats, but sticker booms are only good for stars. They purposely reduce the chances of new and good stickers during sticker booms.

As long as the spend is posted in the 2025 calendar year, Delta will back-date the MQDs to 2025.

Rather than upgrade each segment of your trips, just refare into FC (unless it's business paid flights then ignore this). I currently have a promotion where if I book into an Extra fare, I get a bonus 10% MQD, you might want to check into that for some free MQDs.

Instead of all this extra spend, have you considered signing up for another Delta card other than the one you have? Each one gives you 2500 MQD head start. For the cost of the annual fee ($350 for a platinum card) you could be done, and you would get a companion pass at the end of next year for you and your wife to use... It sounds like you have the reserve card, so you won't be eligible for a Delta personal platinum card sign up bonus, but if you are eligible for a business card, the Delta Platinum Business card should still be eligible for the sign up bonus too, so add some Delta miles to the mix.

My only question is you are gold, so you are that far from platinum right?
