Based on this trend, which I spotted post-merger DL, I have completely stopped using the co-branded Amex/DL card and use credit cards affiliated with the other carriers.

Anyone else switch their credit cards because of mileage issues?

IMO I don't think so... When I had to renew again I was trying to get out of paying the fee or at least get some miles out of it, the told me that I would get the $100 companion pass. I asked if they had any idea what it was like to redeem it? They said well it can't be that hard can it?
