Would you use two Delta skymiles tickets for Portland, ME(PWM) to Atlanta, GA(ATL) or pay $500.00 ($250.00 X 2)?


Option #1 Use the tickets save the cash

Option #2 Buy the tickets through Delta's site, charge them on either Delta Blue Skymiles card or Sheraton's Amex. Save the tickets for 2 X 30,000(extra 5,000 points x 2 gained over time) points to Carribean.

The break down

A) 1,000 point online booking bonus x 2
B) Either 500 Sheraton Points or 750 Skymiles from Amex Card
C) Actual flight miles flown(not sure how many) + segments
D) Save tickets for Carribean trip @30k miles each some time in future.


Important note; I'm NOT interested in earning points for elite tears or upgrades. I just use free tickets for coach travel only. (I thought that would be worth mentioning)

Thanks in Advance for your help
