Winds of Change Will Transform Frequent Flyer Mileage Programs

From Delta Website:
A CHANGE TO THE WAY YOU EARN STATUS.

LEARN MORE ABOUT UPCOMING CHANGES TO THE WAY YOU EARN MEDALLION STATUS.

We have read the fine print for our customers.  Essentially, Delta Airlines (soon to be followed by others) will no longer measure your status by the number of segments you fly or the mileage you travel but instead by the dollars you spend.  The higher the amounts, the higher the status.  Frequent Flyers will have to re-craft their strategies to achive higher status.www.premieretravel.com
