I completely agree! I was lacking over 2000 miles this statement and read online that Redbird online load are not earning. This appears to be true. BB earned fine, but I switched to Redbird late January and have wasted two months in online loads that earned me nothing.

To anyone not believing OP's account I can attest that this is NOT the first time I have heard of ST/DL clawing back significant amounts of miles. I had heard of this over a year ago (not on FT). It is definitely a real risk.

Yeah that's what I'm curious about. And also, you just log into Delta.com and one day your balance is negative 7 figures of skymiles?

Just curious how anyone is using their ST cards? My original need was for estimated tax payments and to load BB. I have since switched to RB, which does not earn miles with Suntrust, so that earning is gone. I also have read reports that miles are no longer earned with Evolve Pay and I know they don't earn miles on post office MO purchases. I do not buy MO's except on rare occasions, so what's left to earn miles with this card? Besides tax payments and Square Cash....

Regular day to day purchases? Yes, one can go the credit route, but it's nice to have the debit option as well.

Both accounts were shut down in my household. I sympathize with you, man.

Do you mean $100,000 spent on the card per month?
