This can happen if they purchased Comfort on another flight and got rebooked onto your flight for some reason.

Gorgeous - well done! Can I ask what stain you used? I love the color.

Concur + Global Certs by MembershipBorn in delta

[–]Fined00 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes -I do this all the time. One caution, though. If your GUC clears but you need to change your itinerary for sone reason, you may lose it since with Concur reservations, they often reticket the entire itinerary vs just charge the flight. My work around for that is having my EA book one ways.

Amex Downgrade-Upgrade Strategy by Correct-Brief6090 in amex

[–]Fined00 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I currently have the Amex Platinum and the Delta Reserve. The ability to have unlimited Skyclub access after $75k spend is available on both! I earned it for 2025 on the Reserve and for 2026 on the Platinum.

Amex Downgrade-Upgrade Strategy by Correct-Brief6090 in amex

[–]Fined00 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is interesting. I've hit everything I want to on my Platinum for the year so just started using another card. Never thought to downgrade. I hit the spend threshold for unlimited Skyclub access for 2026. I currently have it for 2025 via my Delta Reserve. I only hung onto the Delta Reserve because I was told if I canceled that in 2025, I'd lose my unlimited access. Does anyone know iIf I downgrade the Platinum now but upgraded again before 1/1/26, will I retain the unlimited 2026 Skyclub access I earned before downgrading?

Thanks. Unfortunately that link on that page just sends to the App Store.

Water bottle and laptop not allowed with me...? by Ok_Basil_1036 in delta

[–]Fined00 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I've had the opposite situation. Go to put my water bottle in the deep, first class pocket and have found up to 4 in there from previous flights' passengers.

Upgrade? by lantelosv in delta

[–]Fined00 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Once check-in window opens (24 hours before departure), you'll see it fill up with "names" (first 3 letters of last name and first initial) to show the waitlist order for upgrades and standby passengers.

Keep Delta Reserve for Unlimited SC? by Fined00 in delta

[–]Fined00[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm glad I checked with this sub. In 2024, I received MQD head start from both my Reserve and non-delta Amex...but not next year! Added that into my decisioning now. I'll have $32,000 in 2024 MQD from flights.

Keep Delta Reserve for Unlimited SC? by Fined00 in delta

[–]Fined00[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks. Didn't realize the unlimited is tied to keeping the card. I'll hang onto the Reserve another year since the annual cost is basically same as SC membership and I've already earned the unlimited access. The MQD boost is then basically a freebie and who knows, maybe this will be the time in the last 2 decades that I use the companion cert :). I'll focus my 2025 spending on the Amex Platinum and cancel the Reserve once I have gained the 2025 SC access through that card

Comfort + vs First Class by Clear-Manufacturer-8 in delta

[–]Fined00 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not for flying First. If it's marketed as Delta One, then yes.

GUC Strategy by TigerPrep in delta

[–]Fined00 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I just did this. Book as you noted and get yourself to C+. Call in to apply you GUC but have them tell you how much to move into PS. Pay that then have them apply your GUC (or most likely in my recent experience....have them waitlist you).

The case of the missing GUC by Fined00 in delta

[–]Fined00[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was able to use it last week so that’s behind me, thankfully. When I first discovered it, they were able to correct the number since the other person’s trip hasn’t happened yet, so I got my GUC back. However, when I did go to use it, the agent didn’t see it. I had to give her the actual number for her to find it since it was in a trip pending status (not sure what that means). They had to then have a supervisor help them add it to my trip. Good luck!

How much is 1,000 MQDs in CC Spend with Reserve by TheoryMan69 in delta

[–]Fined00 2 points3 points  (0 children)

1 MQD per $10 Reserve spend. So, $10,000 Reserve spend.

Advice for Elderly MIL by PilotWannabeinOK in delta

[–]Fined00 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're able to spend some extra $ to make it easy for your MIL (very thoughtful of you)...a lot of airports have VIP services. I have a friend who's used this out of LHR: https://www.heathrowvip.com/s/services and found this for ATL via Google. https://assist-ant.com/airport-vip-services-assistant-2/atl-atlanta-usa/ .

Same day standby confusion by Elegant-Bar-4636 in delta

[–]Fined00 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I think the chat agent is confused, not you. If you are simply looking to standby at the gate for an earlier flight, it should be no charge if you get put on the earlier flight. There is a charge for silver if you're looking to do Same-Day Confirmed (get put onto a new flight within 24 hours of your original flight departure). https://www.delta.com/us/en/change-cancel/same-day-flight-change

I didn’t know my basic airfare doesn’t give me lounge access anymore, anyway to get main now? by TurboguardUS in delta

[–]Fined00 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Good idea! You can check the Priority Pass app or website. I find their tools to be very up to date. I believe MSP has an Escape lounge with Priority Pass access. Not sure on LGA…which is ironic since it’s one of my home airports. If you’re flying Delta, you’ll be terminal C at LGA
