I have been giving Delta my loyalty for the last couple years and I'm not sure if it's worth it to continue. While I have amassed a huge stash-- approx. 500k-- of sky miles (sky pesos), it just seems like the whole medallion system is set up to really only benefit the corporate traveler. So many people have medallion status these days that it really doesn't start to benefit you until you hit Diamond or Sapphire, and those levels are difficult to achieve unless you have a company paying for frequent long haul flights.
I'll probably transition to using up my sky pesos next year and then just go with the airlines that offer the best deal. Anyone have recommendations on airlines where it is worth it to build status through loyalty? Because I'm just not seeing the value with Delta these days.
Where are you located?
I use to live in a Delta hub but I still used AA almost all the time. Just shows you how much I despise Delta.
