It used to be that if you failed to requalify, they would only drop you one level in a given year. No longer. I had been platinum, but my company went bankrupt early last year so, being unemployed, I did not travel much. In the past, I would have been given Gold status, but I received nothing this year. When I asked Delta about it, they said the 5000 miles they gave us last year was enough. At least Marriott is still continuing that practice.
