MilesBuzz! - Delta Skymiles 1/2 Price

Just got an email from Delta. 100% bonus when buying miles with a Delta Amex. Makes them 1.75 cents per mile.

Amazing what they think can be passed as a deal isn't it?

Not a great deal, but if they post instantly it's not bad if the situation warrants.

IE: Chicago<>Brazil is $2,000 cash over christmas of 80,000 miles in coach.

Mine was transfer miles and get 100% back.

Got this same email today as well and am tempted to top off to 50K (account a little depleted after a BE redemption this summer and two coach TATL last month) just in case....

But then again, I have MR points that can be transferred with a 30% rebate...

If you don't mind, could you please share the link, if there is one?

Weak I only got the 50% bonus!

Or SFO-CDG RT Business on AF for $1,750 or 100K.

Good luck redeeming the Skypesos before they devalue them again....

Maybe it did not specify the currency. If it was in Zimbabwe dollars, it still might be a good deal!

Can you put an award ticket on hold with DL, pending a mileage purchase/transfer?

If it is possible to secure availability of an award before purchasing, this could be a good deal.

Very true.... some are a rip off..

Takes the right circumstances though (high demand period redemption or last-minute redemption), due to last seat availability.

Tickets are only $1750 for non stop? I can't seem to find anything around this price.

Yes, if done online. On the phone, the agents will not hold a reservation. However, the purchase will post immediately, so if you find availability, open up a second browser window, purchase the miles and then go back and complete the reservation.

Buy only with a Delta AMEX to average the cost lower. That said we aren't backing up the truck over here like we did on the transfer Skymiles promotion.
