Surprisingly, I find myself agreeing with you here. As someone who has managed -- somehow! -- to use each and every companion certificate that I have earned, I can hardly call the program a scam. I've been able to utilize it, notwithstanding the surprises lurking in the obtuse terms and conditions. I suppose if I were a Delta moderator, I might retitle the thread something like this:
"Surprises lurk in the terms and conditions for AMEX companion certificates"
