I'm not too impressed with DL for doing that..
Hopefully they stop this practice..
I had a good experience with DL, having signed up onto their program this last Christmas Break. as a result of super low fare to MCO..
But the point system, the availability of flights for FF redemption, and surcharges to book on partner airlines (now that its mentioned here), does not impress me at all..
The nice thing is for foreign accounts, the miles don't expire.. so I still may give them another try, but I'm definitely not going out of my way to use DL..
