As a loyal customer and first-time Platinum medallion member of Delta Airlines, I am deeply concerned about the recently announced changes to the Medallion status requirements. These changes not only eliminate the spending waiver for Delta Platinum and Reserve Amex cardholders but also place an excessive emphasis on MQD (Medallion Qualification Dollars), making it increasingly difficult for passengers to maintain their hard-earned status.

I have been a dedicated customer of Delta Airlines for years, appreciating their exceptional service and commitment to passenger satisfaction. Achieving Platinum medallion status has been a milestone that I have strived towards, representing my loyalty and dedication as a frequent flyer. However, with these proposed changes, maintaining this status would require an exorbitant spend of $180,000 on my Amex Reserve card alone – an amount that is simply unattainable for many loyal customers like myself.

Delta Airlines' decision to no longer consider MQM's (Medallion Qualification Miles) in determining Medallion status is deeply concerning. This change will undoubtedly result in a significant reduction in the number of medallion members who have worked tirelessly to meet previous requirements. By solely focusing on MQD, which has also seen unreasonable increases, Delta is effectively alienating its most dedicated customers.


The negative consequences of these changes are far-reaching. Not only will they discourage loyalty among existing customers but they will also deter potential new customers from choosing Delta Airlines as their preferred carrier. This shift contradicts the airline's commitment to customer satisfaction and undermines the trust that loyal customers have placed in Delta.

Therefore, I urge Delta Airlines to reconsider these unfair changes and restore a more balanced approach to Medallion status requirements. By reinstating the spending waiver for Delta Platinum and Reserve Amex cardholders and reintegrating MQM's into the qualification criteria, Delta can ensure that its loyal customers are not unfairly penalized.

Together, let us send a strong message to Delta Airlines that their most dedicated passengers deserve recognition for their loyalty. Sign this petition today to stand against these unjust changes and advocate for fair treatment of all Medallion members!
