Results in $250 in gift cards at Delta as opposed to $200 at Starwood. Making an extra $50 every time I redeem for gift cards.
If you're looking for 1% cashback, or 1.25% cashback, I think you might be better served by the 2% cashback Schwab Visa. I guess it's not as flexible since it's ONLY cashback, but it's better than these gift cards.
