The letter further states that it will take 3 months for the State records to reflect this. Then I will claim it from the State.

The letter claims this is Final Notice. The thing is, I have NEVER received ANY notice from Delta on its Gift Cards.

I currently have several $50 Delta eGiftCards from the old days when it was a credit card benefit to receive $50 value from spending at Delta. I remember Delta can only use 3 giftcards at a ticket purchase online.

My questions are

1) When you book a Delta ticket using the giftcards as partial payment then cancel the ticket within the 24 hours grace period, the payments by giftcards will go back to giftcards, right? Those giftcards will then have a new issuance dates, correct?

2) Do you get back the total value paid by gift cards to ONE eGiftCard, or they go back to the Original GiftCards, i.e. those $50 ones?

This Delta letter prompts me to check the AA giftcards I have, even older than Delta's - AA check balance site shows they are ALL alive and well. Why Delta wants to turn it over to the State? Hope this become the breakage?
