This e-mail pretty much made my Sunday. After a year of hanging out in Silver status, I finally hit Gold Medallion status with Delta. Don't get me wrong - Silver was nice, and when I don't have a travel-for-work job, I am definitely going to hate boarding in Zone 2 (formerly Zone 3) and later - but I have been waiting all year to finally make the jump from Silver to Gold.
Delta awards Silver Medallion when you've flown either 25,000 (qualifying) miles or 30 flight segments, whichever comes first. Last year, I hit Silver based on segments - I was flying between Ohio, Maryland, and New York very regularly, and I tried to take Delta as often as possible. This year, I had quite a number of weeks where I didn't travel, but once we moved to the West Coast and I was still travelling back to the East Coast/Midwest, I started accumulating miles like crazy (about 3,000 qualifying miles per flight) and finally hit Gold on miles (50,000).
Now on to Platinum!
