The easy paths<\/a> many airlines and hotels laid down during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic<\/a> are now long gone. In fact, Delta Air Lines is making it even harder than it was pre-pandemic to achieve its coveted Delta Diamond status<\/a> with huge spending requirements.<\/p>\n

I no longer have expedited ways to get to top-tier Alaska Airlines, American Airlines, Delta or Hyatt status, but that doesn’t mean I’m giving up on elite status. It’s just gotten trickier this year.<\/p>\n

My elite status journey has been erratic, to say the least, over the past several years. I’ve done several status challenges, gotten some big wins and been forced to cut my losses in a few programs.<\/p>\n

Hopefully, you’ll be able to create your own path forward, and maybe my journey can teach you a few things too.<\/p>\n
