It’s the same line though, they aren’t splitting based on status, only a factor of how busy they were when you called vs your wife 🤦‍♂️

They are split hotlines...

No status at all. No wait. Free change.

Silver and I’ve been on hold for three hours

Nevermind she moved me to reservations rather than refunds.

I’m still waiting on them to change my member status to platinum after meeting the spend req

My word. Read the room. I was joining in complaining ab Delta

Just got transferred to Refunds. Let’s see how long that takes.

I used to fly Delta to a client location, where abt 40% were Diamonds, 40% were Platinum n rest were Gold or silver. 🤣🤣🤣

Nope this was Atl-DesMoines 🤣

Honestly I wouldn’t want to talk to a platinum member either
