Some of us still earn Delta miles with this card or may want information about past or grandfathered terms and conditions.

Please do not spread panic about miles not posting until after the 10th of each month.
In most cases, miles post in the evening on the 5th of each month if it's a business day, or else the evening of the next business day. "Miles post for purchases made between (inclusive) 5th day of prior month to 4th day of current month."

    My points posted tonight.. Roughly 1800. Closing my account this weekend. It' just not worth keeping a minimum balance or dealing with the headache anymore.

    I got over 4k again. I didn't push it, limited my spending. Based on Troy's comment I'm starting to think I shouldn't be limiting.

    Mine was definitely limited. Spent significantly over $4k and got 1800. That's not right. I actually might complain bc at this point I'm not even getting what the terms say I'm entitled to.

    I know. I see the 2-1 but no cap. Maybe they realized if it was a cost savings issues by doing 2-1 they cut the cost of the program in half...no need to be jerks! I thought sept was an error but now that I see October it appears they were happy to just go to 2:1 and forget the stupid monthly cap.

    You do realized with all of us saying we got more it's kinda not to bright on our part. If it is an error, while they can not take the miles back, they will work overtime to figure it out. If it happens this month I say they know and will leave it be. They also have a duty to inform us of the error, if it is one.

    Suntrust is closing accounts

    I received a letter from Suntrust that they are closing my checking account where I have a debit card I use to load my bluebird card... has anybody received a notification like that?
