Do Delta and AA gift cards need to be in certain increments or can do for full $300?

RTW. You need to manually prepay.
Save your time, I don't answer PM. Post it in the forum and a dedicated DDF'er will get back to you as soon as possible.

You probably spent more time on the phone with chase than would have taken you to read the wiki. Hopefully they at least courtesy credited you

Through Uber's website definitely won't work, there have been DP's that MPX works but TARB.
