- WCCO's Erin Hassanzadeh talked with Kyle Potter from Thrifty Travel about how things stand. It will likely be a matter of weeks until the announcement of further modifications.
DL will resume dialing back their program perks as soon as the current backlash dies down. You can be sure of that.
Probably around January
No word yet on what this “dial back “ is @Delta?? It’s already been a matter of weeks!
Greedy CEOs and companies. Glad we have tons of options to fly. No point of being a loyal customer these days.
Exactly. Airlines don’t care about customers and they show us that by making flying miserable.
Complete slap on the face after being a sky mile member since the year I was born!
Oddly enough, people leaving the program makes the program better for upgrades…
It's a paradox. If the cub is 'exclusive' then you're probably not allowed to be a member. We all can't be special.
All the major carriers are playing at MSP…
NWA was absorbed by Delta
Some loyalty was transferred
Negotiating their PERKS is strictly a carrot on the stick ploy for the
Look at me drones
As a twenty year airline employee nobody is special. Once were in the air we all smell the same farts.
Once we're in the air we all smell the same facts 😂😂😂
Yes, I will absolutely be canceling my Amex because of Delta changes.
It’s all about what Is really essential…Do you really need to sit in a lounge or just get your ass to your destination in peace. If I gotta fly another airline I’m cool with it. If I pay for first class I’m just concerned with getting to my destination. Heck my sense of self worth doesn’t hinge on sitting in a lounge sucking back free liquor.
I am a million miler and spend 550 a year for my American express card and fly across the country every 2 weeks so yes the skyclub is a deal breaker for me
Id rather fly Jetblue than struggle for status on DL.
No love for Sun Country? They are based in MSP after all. They fly to a lot of destinations in the US, although granted the frequency is less than daily for many of them.
Bye bye Delta
I've been flying United out of MSP for the last 10 years for work with no problems. They are cheaper most of the time as well...
Delta Sky Miles should allow bonus points/miles to transfer from pretty much ANY rewards credit card!!! Being the only airline in Minneapolis, AND being in bed with American Express in a terrible thing for customers!
What is the issue with Amex? I appreciate how their partnership operates.
@@braapinthecommies Amex(non Delta card) allows you to transfer points to several partner airlines. With the Amex Delta, your points/miles transfer automatically to SkyMiles. I get it, but it would be nice to have the choice.
We the consumers are to blame. Most of us are more than happy to pay for cheap flights than better services and extra leg room. Air flying is a commodity market and most of us just pay attention to the price. Airlines is just adapting to consumer demands. That’s why all these discount airlines are so popular.
It’s not our fault. I grew up in the golden age of flying and worked in aerospace manufacturing for 20 years. It’s greed, it’s the giant mergers and it’s more profitable to treat customers like crap and give them nothing. They know you have no choice in travel, particularly international travel. They can do whatever they want. They are so rich and due to government deregulation, they are now too big to fail. It’s a really bad situation.
My new found loyalty to Delta depends on what changes are made again on their loyalty program. If they reverse what they had done a couple weeks ago, then I’ll stick with keeping status with other airlines because with the current program, technically speaking, I would’ve had to spend $80k to 90k to get the flight distance required in full fare business class to qualify for Diamond (I’d never do that because I can spend a lot less on UA or AA to get the same status) With the new program though, I wouldn’t have to spend as much money on flights to get Diamond so I’m in support of the new changes for right now.
Switch to another airline. There bait and switch program is designed to not honor the miles.
So each hamburger will cost 2000 dollars each wtf
You can fly Alaska to Seattle and connect to their entire network from there, and you can fly jetBlue to Boston and connect to most of their network from there.
Or just fly Delta and you're there no need to stop somewhere to connect
I live in metro Atlanta, so delta is pretty much the only option since I prefer direct flights even I have to pay extra. Learned a lesson before by missing my layover flight due to bad weather. It cuts my vacation short and it is not worth it.
I Hear you can go to UNITED Airlines and the won't mess you up like @delta does. :)
Core competencies Delta, core competencies...you are not a credit card company!
He want keeps all food money for him self
bye bye DELTA
I've lost interest in Delta's Skymiles program thanks to all this bs.
The problem is that Delta and other airlines create points out of thin air and sell them to banks with co-branded credit cards. It's impossible to determine the value of those points until they are used. I've been guilty of not redeeming my points and spending cash on Delta tickets because I wanted to earn my way towards elite status. You can't do that with point redemptions because you won't earn miles flown or progress to elite status when you fly with points. Now I'm going to spend down my points with Delta and shop by solely by price and not loyalty.
Bye bye Amex Delta Platinum Card.
Talk about tone deaf. Seriously Delta, so obtuse. I understand changes but what they rolled out was ridiculous. Hello Alaska.
