Delta has announced 2010 changes to the Skymiles program. They are not trivial and most writers regards them as good. See
here for details. It includes:
* Diamond Medallion Status: 125,000 MQMs or 140 segments. Complimentary Delta Sky Club™ membership, a 125% mileage bonus, more fee waivers and exclusive rewards.
* Rollover MQMs: Any MQMs you've earned above your Medallion qualification level at the end of the year will roll over to your MQM balance for the following year.
* Choice of Benefits: Choose the benefits that best fit you" Systemwide Upgrade Certificates that are redeemable on the day of departure, the ability to Gift Medallion Status to a friend, bonus miles you can keep or donate to a SkyWish charity and Delta Sky Club One-Day passes.
* Direct Ticketing Charge Waivers: for Gold, Platinum, and Diamond Medallion members.
A good analysis is in the Travel Skills Newsletter, here.

One more thing on this - the key question is always how many upgrade seats are available compared to the number of eligible Skymiles members. Everything else pretty much pales in comparison.
