Hi Ben!

I will try to make this very quick as I know you have tons of emails. If I have an option to get AA platinum (50k) or delta silver (25k) before the end of 2019, which would you choose. The caveat is that I will be living in Atlanta starting in 2019. I don’t really care about having to have one connection to most places considering Atlanta isn’t an AA hub. What would you chose? One other thing, I can get AA platinum in the next 20 days via a status challenge.

Thanks so much for your opinion!

Thanks,
Adam

It’s going to depend on your travel patterns.

Being in Atlanta means it’s DL Elite heavy and upgrades are going to be much harder.

Delta Silver is a pretty useless status, so on the surface AA Platinum might get your more benefits if you don’t mind connecting?
