Bump less than 24 hours for 30% bonus must register
Less than 24 hours before this bonus deal ends if you want the 30% bonus for a transfer to Delta. I did it late last night and bonus points posted today. This is the first time I have done one of these transfers to Delta and did not have to wait several months and fight for bonus pints. DO NOT FORGET TO REGISTER FIRST. LINK IS MISSING ON DELTA WEB SITE so go to OP post

Is this a good deal? I am worried because so many people say it is impossible to redeem international J & F awards on Delta. I am looking for Asia/Australia. Can someone just convince me already that I need to this before tonight? The new bonus from Virgin sounds good too bad it is Virgin Atlantic (and not transpacific Virgin). I have no desire to try and convert my $ to Euros.

Economy, economics and calander year all come into play.
Delta can get money from Amex by selling them miles. So if Delta needs money you have an incentive for Delta to deal with amex. Problem is Amex had limited access to money recently because of credit crunch until Amex recieved instant bank status by United States Gov. Best deals seem to be before and after summer or high peak seasons for award travel. Best deal I have seen is 30% bonus post summer as in recent. Pre summer I have seen 25% so you may see that deal again.
