In fact, a higher Amex credit is worse for Delta and Amex since the purchaser of travel gets Skymiles twice (credited purchase) in addition to any multiplier for purchasing Delta travel on the Amex.

I believe the changes to $250 for the Amex credit and $350 for the travel voucher are meant to correct this and align the choices back to soemthing that makes rational sense.
