Any Elites (incl Silver) can buy gift cards at the rate 6k miles for $50 (at least, up to platinum. may be Diamonds get better rate, no idea). Any DL Amex cardholders (same as pay with miles) can have GC at 5k miles for $50. everyone else gets only hotels and car rentals.

I am Gold and I see, among other things, gift cards and hotel booking capability.
Three questions so we can figure out what the criteria are for who is offered what:
* Any Gold or above out there who don't see both gift cards and hotel bookings?
* Any non-elites out there see gift cards or hotel bookings?
*Any Silvers out there see gift cars or hotel bookings?
If we get those questions answered, I think we will now what the parameters are for who gets what.
It seems that the gift cards and hotel bookings are the most valuable redemptions as both give a true penny a mile value. That's why I'm only asking about those.
