Delta: "Demand for Skymiles as a currency is increasing."
Details from earnings calls
- Redemptions up 12% in 1Q19
- Customers using Skymiles for purchases outside of flights
- Upgrade with points growing faster than expected
- 4,000 customers upgrading with points every day, half with mobile
- AMEX spend up double digits in 1Q19
Seems like customers are using these pay for upgrade options in high numbers
