As a platinum medallion w/ reserve card, my upgrades % out of Atlanta have been 0%
I’m a diamond medallion - have been for years - with the Delta Reserve Card. No uptick in upgrades at all - in fact I travel east coast to west every week and still wind up consistently at number 7 or 8 for a first class upgrade.
This is very discouraging to hear as a platinum medallion with the platinum card...
I think most diamond/platinums have the delta reserve card as well. So it can’t be used as tie breaker in your favor in that case.
Out of Minneapolis I saw an uptick as Platinum
Upgrades are always better at the beginning of the year because of people losing status.
But do you all carry the reserve card solely for the tie breaker? The Amex Platinum seems to have better ROI. I don’t get upgraded much, but I don’t have the Reserve. Maybe this is why ... thoughts?
Well, the credit card is only the tie breaker after status and fare class. So it’s not going to make the difference every time.
Reach 25k in spend and that becomes another tiebreaker
