What am I missing? TBH, it sounds too good to be true.
(And yes, I know I wont earn hotel points or get my elite benefits, but it just so happens that at least $2K of this spend is at an unaffiliated hotels anyway, and tbh, losing hotel points on the other stays seems worth it).
You’re missing that the hotel pricing may not be the same when you book through Delta.

Have you checked any specific dates and stays for comparison?
