Just got a email with the following offer upgrade from the delta gold to the platinum and get 10,000 bonus miles with 5,000 of the being mqm's (I'm considering it being that I'm 2,500 miles from status) and I have 2 questions 1. Will this take a credit pull? 2. If I downgrade back to the gold will I still be charged?

same offer. Just the companion pass comes at the end of the year from what I understood. And I meant 10,000 miles which 5,000 of them are mqm's. Sorry if I wasn't clear.

maybe it is. but I was wondering if its a credit pull and if I can go back to the gold without having to pay the annual fee.

saw this today as well
i have the delta options so its offering me 15k miles plus 5k MQM
if upgrading from reg. delta credit card then its 10+10

I am on the phone with them and they told me i have an offer of upgrading to the reserve for 10k miles and 10k MQM
if i have not flown them in the past year and pron wont fly them more then once this coming year, is it worth it?

they said u have 60 days to downgrade and get full refund. will there be a clawback?

We appreciate your loyalty and business as a Gold Delta SkyMiles Credit Cardmember, however only Cardmembers who have had their Card for more than one year are eligible to upgrade.

Is there any potential downside to upgrading this and going back to gold after?
