Which is Worse for Award Redemption, Delta or Delta.com?
November 25th, 2009 admin
Hunter says Delta.com has gone off the rails . And he calls the Delta.com helpdesk “We’re a Bunch of Monkeys Chained to Phones.” Gee, Hunter is just realizing this. And he actually flies Delta . I do my best to avoid it, though in my case it’s because on Delta ful fare trumps status in the upgrade queue and the idiots treat cheap government fares as full fare. I live in DC, where everyone but me is flying on a government fare. But that’s beside the point. My beef with Delta.com is its award search. Delta occasionally publishes premium cabin international inventory for award booking without paying extortionate double or triple mileage pricing. But its website would never…

I took awhile thinking about whether to post this, and what to say. As a result, Lucky beat me to the punch on this one . Delta is offering double miles on all credit card spend with their co-branded American Express products between July 1 and September 30 if you redeem an award of at least 10,000 miles , e.g. a 25,000 domestic coach saver award...

Award travel is valid for member self and an Award Nominee, or 2 Award Nominees, and both must travel together on the same departing flight and in the same...

A week ago I posted that Delta planned to implement minimum stay requirements on award tickets booked at the ‘low’ (aka standard) level within 21 days of departure. The change was posted on their website as coming in August. A reliable source, who knows much more about these things than I do, emailed to let me know that the change had...

Loyalty Traveler outlines the new Starwood “Rewarding Returns” bonus offer running through the end of the year. Members select from their choice of award after a predetermined number of stays between now and the end of the year. It appears that most people are being offered 4000 bonus points, a $50 Starwood gift certificate for use on...
