It is not like Bank of America is a unique or special deal

With these changes why would anyone in their right mind spend on a Delta Amex?
I think they’ve hoping that liking Delta will translate into keeping an AmEx Delta credit card. And on people not doing the research and discovering if it seems impossible to chase status, it makes more sense to throw spend on an AmEx Everyday Preferred or AmEx Gold and transferring MR points into SkyMiles as needed instead of spending on an AmEx Delta card if you’re one of the folks who prefers to fly Delta.
