AMEX Delta gold or Chase Freedom?

Hey guys, help me out a bit here.

I am going to purchase a plane ticket which will be about $1900, and which will probably be Delta.

AMEX delta gold has 2X mileage if purchase Delta flights => 3800 miles
Chase Freedom has 5% cash back up to $1500 of purchase => $75 in cashback

Which one should I use for purchasing this ticket?

Thanks a lot!

Welcome to Flyertalk.

Use the Delta card for the ticket purchase because you can earn the 5% rebate on other spending with the Chase card.

It really depends on what your other spending will be. Will your gas/auto rental/hotel spending be significant during the promo period? Then you're better off using the Delta card. If not, it sounds like $75 cash back would be more valuable than 3800 miles, unless you always fly delta. Then it's a toss up.
