In this way the 75k/ticket is probably the cap on the DL side ticket line-item award.
@ John
My understanding is that Diamonds get 11 miles per Dollar spent and 13 miles per dollar when using Delta Amex card......
My problem is that this is capped at 75,000 miles -- as soon as my ticket value exceeds $5,700 I earn NO miles on the additional $ spent......
