FlexPerks is the old NW VIsa card which I Use whenever I can't use AMX. The other benefit of that card is any charitable donations are worth triple point so remember for your donations tun use that card if you can.
If you use FlexPerks to "buy" a tkt on DL. you earn miles the same as if you used cash/cc?
I guess I never knew that@:-) Maybe I'd better pay more attention to that card
