Their strategy seems to be that a good customer is an ignorant one.

Sounds awfully similar to the genocide in Cambodia. Just not as deadly and brutal.

With all the negative developments with Delta's program, there are times when Delta Skymiles are very useful to have. Recently I needed a flight from LAX to DTW and my only direct options were Delta and Spirit, of course it was a no brainier to use 12,500 Skymiles for a flight that would of otherwise costed me $560. Additionally I recently needed a flight from JFK- LAX, and Delta was my only option for a direct flight at the 12,500 level.
I barely use Delta but for the time being there are time they are very useful.

Can't keep up with all the DL changes. Does anyone know if Delta opens up award availability closer to flights?

I got an offer for 1.4 as long as I could deliver 300k or more.
Anything in smaller amounts, the values is pretty low, like .9 cents (that's nine tenths of a penny, not $0.9 which would be ninety cents.)

Mind sharing where the offer came from?  Thx.

Couldn't find a thread for Delta Awards flights - anyone know what it costs to cancel an awards flight (more than 72 hours before the flight)?

i need a place to rant: i applied to the amex delta gold card a month ago, the trip i was looking at was 50,000 skymiles. early this evening around 8pm the trip was 60,000 skymiles, by 9pm it was 62,500, and now at 11:30PM its 67,500 skymiles. It went up over 10% in just a few hours! just outrageous, i cant believe they can get away with this. now i can see why they are called skypesos/ skyrubles/ skydrachma. useless rewards currency, unfortunately it seems more and more airlines seem to be following suit in this demand based pricing.

my statement closed today and i should have more skymiles on the way once they post (hopefully ASAP) or else im gonna be in trouble!

</end rant>
