Wow, this is interesting. One thing I wonder about in your statement here: "Delta gets paid ($7bn on its way to $10bn) for mileage points."

Is it really that simple? I would think that things like MQDs bonuses (the 2500 MQD per year from each card), companion certificates and skyclub visits require some compensation too.

Does AMEX compensate Delta based on the number of skyclub visits "you" (collectively) make in a given amount of time?
