End of February.

(Assuming you are in fact losing status at the end of the 2011 program year. If you  qualified in middle of 2011 you would have the rest of 2011 AND the 2012 program year.)

I've searched and couldn't find the answer... I currently have delta silver status until feb 2013, which i got from the amex transfer. I have 3000 miles left to get gold. once i get gold, will i only have it until feb 2013, or will that "renew" my time and last till feb 2014?

You will have status until the last day in February of the year following the year AFTER you earned the status.

Thus, earned 12/10, will have status until 2/12. If earned 1/11, will have status until 2/13.

yup
Great! I just want to point ojut for anyone else, that waiting for 1/13 to get gold (with the intent of making it last an extra year) won't work if you got the silver status via a promo. Because delta will only rollover miles over 25k. I read that somewhere online..

WARNING:
If you silver, expiring in 2/13, then you will not be able to get Gold with 3K MQMs.

Why? because you earned silver status during 2011. When the calender year switched, you "paid" 25K MQMs for the silver status and were left with whatever extra you had. If you didn't requalify for Silver, you can't make Gold.

I don't have 3k MQMs, I have 21.2k MQMs, so all i need is another 3.5k to get to my next status which is gold. here's a screen shot:

Sorry my friend, that shows you as being 3k mqm's from requalifying for SILVER... which will last until 2/14.

I didn't realize you can requalify for silver. I thought that once you have silver the only place you can go is gold. Now i got it. Thanks guys.

If you don't re-qualify, the only place you go is dirt.

when you say you got from amex transfer does that mean i can qualify for silver status by doing a amex starwoods transfer? i have 14000 skymiles.

1) Welcome to DDF
2) The offer is  expired.
3) The offer was only from AmEx Membership Rewards.
4) The offer was for 100,000 --> 150,000 DL along with Silver status.
