Please know that to protect the integrity of the SkyMiles program, We do not offer Medallion Qualifying Miles as a gesture for service failure. Respectfully, any additional
considerations would not be due. I am sorry to disappoint you, as I
understand this is not the answer you were expecting.

I was thinking the same thing. What a bunch of utter cr@p claiming the "integrity of the SkyMiles program" as a reason not to compensate you with MQMs while all year they have been giving away MQMs like candy on Halloween with all of their double-MQM promotions and even non-flying ways to earn MQMs through hotel stays. If they wanted to they could make it happen. I'd say take your status match with Continental and run with it. Star Alliance gives you way more options both domestically and internationally than Delta and SkyTeam.
I was status-matched from Silver up to Platinum by Delta back in January after Continental announced their firm departure date from SkyTeam. Although I haven't had any major issues with them this year I have flown them less and less. After Continental's entry into Star 10 days ago I have decided not to fly Delta any more this year and unless they are significantly cheaper I will avoid them next year as well. I have an unused credit which will expire September of next year but will hold on to that for either an emergency or last-minute impulse trip. Otherwise it's bye-bye Delta and SkyTeam.
Edit to Add: I just looked at that DL credit. The last three letters of the locator are RID! I guess they knew! LOL
