i didn't even realize that it was an offer for a free ticket to *anywhere* delta flies...that does indeed have the potential of being very valuable.

HOWEVER, the fine print underscores the "potential" nature of the offer:

"Award travel may only be booked in E class. E class inventory is limited and seats may not be available on all flights or in all markets."

I'm not a Delta flyer (I've been a CO elite member for several years), but if redeeming any award in a certain class (likely the "standard" reward and not the "easypass" ones) is anything like continental, then that free ticket is about as valuable as monopoly money, especially since the fine print also mentions:

"Award tickets must be issued 24 hours after the reservation is made and at least 14 days prior to departure."

i know that continental, for instance, doesn't start releasing it's "standard" reward inventory UNTIL 14 days before departure (so they can nab you with a $35-50 fee for booking the reservation so close to the travel date)...and if delta is any way like CO in this regard, then you might as well use the free ticket voucher as toilet paper.
