I suppose one would have to redeem at least one award ticket each year and ensure that the 15% miles savings exceeds $99?

I have a DL Amex Plat. now and I'm trying to decide if I should cancel it or downgrade to DL Gold (or cancel and sign-up for Gold for the sign-on bonus)
In my mind, $99 is about the value of 9000 miles. You'd have to book 60K worth of SkyMiles flights a year to come out even with the 15% if you don't use any other benefits of the card.

Personally, I need a Delta card for the MQD waiver anyway.
