Instead of wondering “what Delta is thinking” with the changes, why not just take the win and divert spending to other cards where you earn more value? The change is positive for those with high spend, rollover, etc. To everyone’s point, some cardholders will be spending $75k to get unlimited SkyMiles access when they previously spent $30K. Even more will just spend blindly, because that is what most customers do anyway. We will see if Delta sees less revenue (“remuneration”) pretty quickly.
