Would Delta really agree to have the miles yanked or frozen once credited? Have you heard of anyone actually losing Delta miles once credited? Seems like it would be bad PR for Delta. And what if someone had used the miles already?
If a card is held more than 12 months, there is no way they'd try to claw back benefits upon card cancellation (unless manufactured spend was involved). Sounds like BS from the Amex retention department to me - who of course are rated by the percentage of callers they are assigned that are "talked out of" cancelling their card during that call.
