In a bit of a quandary. I'm due to fly to the States for a vacation on 2/20, coming back on 3/4. I am flying with Alitalia (LHR-FCO-MIA) My current Delta Gold Medallion credentials expire at the end of February and the new ones kick in March 1st.
What concerns me is whether I'll be able to claim ST E+ privileges without a problem (eg. lounge access and priority boarding), given that my Delta GM card shows that it's only valid through 2/2013 (and I won't get the new one till I'm back home in London in early March).
I know that DL itself never references the card, but in my recent trips on AF and AZ in Europe, agents in lounges asked me for a physical card in every instance. I assume the BP should suffice, and that I may have to press the point a bit, but does anyone know for sure if it'll present a problem?
