Bad press and deservedly so. Below is a link to a NYT article today explaining what the airlines do with our miles after we die. I personally disagree with anything less than allowing the complete and free transfer of the miles to a beneficiary.
After all, while many people here traveled, it was their spouses and other family members who were alone while we were on the road. The least an airline can do is allow the surviving family members the benefit of those miles.
Just my opinion. And please note my use of the word "officially" in the thread title. You MIGHT be able to keep them with DL, but the "official" word was no.
