I think this is what one would expect because there will be a rush to redeem in the period leading up to, and immediately following, a bankruptcy filing to avoid holding potentially worthless miles. In Delta's case the effect may have been more noticeable because they offer virtually nothing in the way of non-flight redemptions.

You bring up a great point in the limitations to the program.They lost Virgin,Diner Club transfers and HH mile to point transfers
I actually cut up my Amex cards and have stopped earning in the program.
Fly AA only now to Atlanta.Until I see an impovement I now see their currency worth less then Continental.At Continental at least I can transfer the miles to HH rather then stare at them as worthless numbers that can't even transport me to their main hub city
