no one has any experience with this?
Your question is not so clear.

What exactly are you trying to accomplish?

What's the best offer on a delta credit card with getting miles? And is it worth it?

If you could still pull up a 50k offer.

Otherwise I think its 30k & $50 statement credit.

Currently, I am seeing dsicounted mileage fares on delta.com, i.e. 9,500 or 11,500 instead of 12,500 and 15,500 instead of 17,500. However, when I try to book, it errors out, saying the fare is no longer valid.
Anyone else having this issue?

I was able to get them to honor it over the phone, but they couldn't figure out why it was happening. I still see some of those reduced fares online. Of course, DL no longer publishes an award chart, so there is no telling whether this is a discount or the new normal.

Sounds good.
Who do you think you are fooling? You think you are going to pull a quick one on your Creator? Good luck with that.

Yeah, I can not find any award on anything. So frustrating...

Do you know if United Plan B still works?

Came across an amazing value; JFK to YVR nonstop in July at 9.5K miles one way or 19K round trip. Paid fare is $618. 3.2 cent return!
