GUWonder, that is a GREAT observation!

Delta must have concluded that chart-based redemption at traditional prices could not be maintained profitably. I don't understand the reasoning, but I wonder how in the world it would not apply even more strongly to redemption for travel on partner airlines. Gary seems to be hinting that the next shoe to drop is taking the value out of partner redemptions.

It's almost as if Delta wants to drive all its customers to Citbank's Double Cash card.
