Interesting move by Delta, if it was adopted here would it change your activity?
Airlines tighten frequent-flier rules- MSN Money
Flying on most airlines has lost its thrill. It's a sad truth that almost all veteran travelers know.
The glamour that was once air travel has long been grounded by the industry’s economic realities, and only those willing to pay out top dollar for the best tickets can still look forward to anything approaching a comfortable and relatively hassle-free trip.
But even the perks associated with frequent flier programs are getting more stratified -- and will depend on the amount you spend on tickets, and not just the number of miles flown.
Last week, Delta Air Lines (DAL +2.94%) announced it was changing the requirements for its SkyMiles Medallion customers in the United States. The company says its move "follows an industry trend of rewarding customers based on dollars spent."
And those changes are expected to break ground for other air carriers.
