Borrow Skymiles from Amex?
« on: September 29, 2018, 08:24:26 PM »
On very interesting news, I got an email from Amex offering to lend DL skymiles to cardholders and have them earn them back with future spend.

ETA: I can't see the details because my only DL card isn't attached to a login, so if anyone has more details please post.

This is not new. I don't remember the details, but it didn't seem to attractive.

 I think if you don’t pay back with miles by a certain time, you owe them 2.5 cents per mile you borrowed

A bargain! I'm now considering borrowing and not paying back to get miles at a steal!
