I want to be a Delta Air Lines Medallion GM because I love having a special telephone line for booking. Also love access to the Delta/Skymiles lounges worldwide. I was Medallion GM for many years, but I lost it this year. I recently flew Delta and partners, and although all was great, being a Medallion GM passenger would have made it even better!
As a
GMPM+, I could gift status to my mother, who flies Delta a great deal more than I, though usually not enough to gain status.I want to be a Delta (DM) Medallion because I would love to have lounge access.
Delta Medallion for the upgrades and lounge access
I would love to travel in style (for a change)
I like upgrades
Upgrades. I want upgrades. And Miles, more miles means more trips where I can bring the family!
I’d love to be a DELTA GM coz i want to be entitled to business and first class travel without having to wait for my ID subload crew seats!! and definitely for my *DELTA POINTS*
Pm+ so i can gift status to friends and family
As much as I enjoy traveling, I hate the process of boarding and deplaning.
There is nothing that terrifies me more than watching a gaggle of kettles try to get on the plane with full size roller bags stuffed with their entire wardrobe, hunt for non-existent overhead space for them, and then make a scene when they cannot find space after dropping an overloaded bag on my head trying to get it into a space it was clearly not going to fit in.
Getting Medallion means I would have a much better chance of getting up front and not having to deal with the scrum in the back.
Biggest reason is picking preferred seats followed closely by upgrades.
I want to be a PM, so I can get upgrades for myself and my wife when we travel.
Because I like upgrades!
I want DL Medallion because It would be my first Elite Status on anything (Besides milepoint).
I want DM for lounge access.
I want PM, I could gift status to my husband, who flies Delta a great deal more than I, though usually not enough.
… I want to get upgrades
I want DM for an excuse to try a new airline out of IAH
I want to be a PM so I have a chance at upgrades and lounge access!
Because when I do fly I fly Delta and it would be nice to have at least a small chance at sitting up front.
I want to be a PM or DM so that I can make changes to award tickets and get the perfect BusinessElite itinerary!
I would love to be Medallion for all the elite perks, since I have never earned elite status on any airline.
I want to be a Delta Air Lines Medallion
DM because I need a cool luggage tag to go with my Delta Points and Flyer Talk luggage tags.
And, of course, a better shot at upgrades than I have with my PM status out of DTW.
I’d like to be a Medallion for upgrade possibilities!
Because I want more chances to fly upfront.
I want to be Delta Gold Medallion because it gives me high enough of a status to expect some upgrades, double miles on flights and SkyTeam+ for lounge access when traveling partners.
I like upgrades!
I would like to have Medallion status so that I could try the Delta product again….comfortably.
I want to be PM because the Platinum desk has helped me salvage more than one trip! Its good to have someone in your corner.
I want to be a Delta Air Lines Medallion
PM because Delta has truly reason since I switch alliances (due to relocation); unfortunately, I am a real loyalist to the airline I chose and it’s hard to re-start “the climb” up tiers and make the switch, but PM would be the equivelent of what I current have on another airline.
I want to be a Delta Air Lines Medallion DM because I want to be recognized when I fly on China Airlines and other SkyTeam carriers.
Upgrades, upgrades, upgrades!
Because it would make Delta flights more enjoyable.
I want to be a Delta Air Lines Medallion (FO, GM, PM or DM) because it’s easier to find cheap travel to exotic locations when you’re not beholden to just one airline; if I had Delta status that meant having lounge access, checked luggage, and just an all around more comfortable experience, I would take advantage of some of the cheap South America fare sales that AeroMexico is putting on.
I want to be a Delta Air Lines Medallion because… it’s always nice to have more choices of airlines where you have elite status to be treated better in case of irregular operations.
(I did read your stipulation to use first and last name, but I wish to use my normal handle on BoardingArea blogs. My email address should make reasonably clear that I’m not manufacturing extra email addresses to participate in contests.)
I want to be a Delta Air Lines Medallion (PM) because I get free economy comfort seats!
awesome
Better flying experience
I am already DM with Delta, and I always strive to renew my status for many reasons. #1 (obviously) is the upgrades!!
because I want to sit with Randy
I want the upgrades!
I want to be a Delta Air Lines Medallion because upgrades make the weekly travel grind that much better!
I want to be a Delta Air Lines Medallion (FO, GM, PM or DM) because…I never win anything and want to learn about how to earn free trips with points and miles!
upgrades and lounge access
Because having status is cool
Because as a Kryptonium medallion I can look down at silvers with righteous condemnation as I walk to my first class seat.
I am currently GM and utilize the same day flight changes–definitely would love to be Platinum or higher to increase my chances of getting upgraded.
Then the wings of angels will carry me everywhere I need to ever go, and I will be fed fine caviar and finer champagne as I’m carried to my destination.
pm for upgrades!
I would love to fly Delta Medallion for the upgrades and lounge access
Status is always nice to have.
I would love to be a Delta Medallion Member. This would allow my family a better way to travel. It’s all about the upgrades!
Because I am currently trapped at DFW waiting for an AA for HNL and if I had Delta status I would already be enjoying the beaches of Waikiki
Because I might be able to use my 300,000 orphaned points for more than a roundtrip from JFK to Indianapolis.
I’m GM now so I’d want to be PM so I could do free award changes/cancellations, making my miles more flexible.
Want to be a medallion for the upgrades!
I would be proud to gain Delta Medallion status, as I’m proud to fly an airline that values its guests and treats everyone with respect.
I get upgrades, board earlier, get bonus miles, and fly to Europe several times a year for 100K bus class seat – thanks to Rene and all i’ve learned – I’m a PM this month with a 13,220 MQM trip to California from Florida and I can give 15K to my husband from the Delta Amex Bus. card to make him Gold.
I want to be a Delta Medallion because I would love to have lounge access.
I want to be a Delta Air Lines Medallion DM because I want to be able to gift GM status to my wife.
Because I want better service when I use my Delta miles to fly to Asia.
I want to be a Delta Medallion, just so i can say i am a DM!!
I want to be a Delta Air Lines Medallion PM
because I have loved having it for the first time during the last year
I love Silver Medallion and want to jump to Gold. I’m going to be about 5K MQMs short and need to figure out how I’m getting the rest of the way! Maybe the Delta Amex Reserve card?!
I want to be a Delta Air Lines DM because of the uber benefits it bestows, esp compared to the FF programs of other airlines!
3 reasons UPGRADES, UPGRADES and did I say UPGRADES
I want DM because I’m sick of the “new” United, lol
Traveling without status takes a lot of the fun out of it…
I want to be a Delta Air Lines Medallion DL because I can enjoy free same day standby, no baggage fees, free upgrades and access to DM customer service hotline.
I want to be a Delta Air Lines DM because I’ve been victim to many of their fees and irrops and this could be huge in making my travel easier.
I want to be a Delta DM because of the upgrade possibilities and lounge access
I want to be a DM Diamond status because then I can sit next to Rene!

(FO, GM, PM or DM) because…I’d like to get more upgrades.

I want to be a Delta PM (or DM) since I’ve missed PM by less than 2K each the last two years.
I want to be a FO+ so that I can have a better shot at upgrades on my cross-Atlantic trips to visit my guy!
Upgrades, and sitting in the front of the plane for once, would be so sweet!
I want to be a Delta Airlines Medallion DM because that’s the only kind of diamond that’s my best friend! I’ve told my husband – no jewelry, only plane tickets! Unfortunately, he’s not much of a traveler. So, theoretically this contest could save our marriage! 😉 And it IS on my birthday too – that’s gotta be worth something, right?
I want to be a Delta Air Lines Medallion (FO, GM, PM or DM) because I have arthritis and
having lounge access and the possibility of upgrades to business or first-class would make flying so much more comfortable. To be able to join Randy on my first-ever Mega DO would truly be an adventure of a lifetime!
One word – Upgrades!
I want to be a Delta Air Lines Medallion (FO, GM, PM or DM) because I have status with OW and * and feel like I should give ST a chance!
I want to continue my PM status for the upgrades.

PM as this is similar status to what I have on other airlines, so it would allow me an accurate way to compare delta’s perks.
For the upgrades!
I would love to have Medallion status because I have no status anywhere and status is what it’s all about!
For the status of course!
I would love to have Medallion status because I would be able to get elite benefits flying both Delta and Alaska, which is almost as helpful as my AS MVP status that gets me benefits on AS, DL, and AA (but I’m not going to requal for next year, sadly.)
I would love to have Delta Medallion status because I have really enjoy traveling. I don’t mind coach on long flights, because I feel so lucky to have the opportunity… But, my eyes have recently been opened to the world of loyalty programs, cc bonuses, and reward flights, and now I must make my flying experiences even better!

Five years is a long time. But, pessimisim aside, we are all going to keep finding ways to travel the world through incredible deals. Especially by communicating great finds instantly throughout our unique, if diverse and sometimes fragmented, community. Its always going to be too hard for the average traveller to follow this fastinating pursuit.
For the special treatment. I enjoy boarding early, greater seat selection and of course the upgrades!
I love upgrades
I want to be a Delta Medallion because I LOVE upgrades!
I want continuing being a PM, so I can get through security using the TSA Expedited security line, board the plane before the masses and select Economy Comfort seats when making reservations. The rest of the benefits are gravy!

I would love status so when my Christmas DCA-MSP trip is delayed or cancelled (like it is every year) I have a dedicated line and a little weight..thus likely not waiting for my phone battery to die while on hold, and actually getting me there before Christmas.
Waiting in line stinks. And because I love to sit up front.

I want to be a Delta Medallion because I’ve enjoyed being one for so many years, I can’t imagine what it would be like if I wasn’t! At PM this year after being DM for the previous two. There is a difference and the DM perks are worth the BIS miles. ;-D

I like the upgrades. I was getting about 50% hits even as a silver when I was flying back and forth to Albuquerque a lot a few years ago. All the travel was to visit my dad who was terminally ill — the extra comfort (and, especially, the drink before take off) made a hard time a tiny bit easier.

Because, so few aspire to greatness!
