Some of us still earn Delta miles with this card or may want information about past or grandfathered terms and conditions.

Please do not spread panic about miles not posting until after the 10th of each month.
In most cases, miles post in the evening on the 5th of each month if it's a business day, or else the evening of the next business day. "Miles post for purchases made between (inclusive) 5th day of prior month to 4th day of current month."

    Cash back doesn't pay and it actually causes the entire transaction to not be paid. It's counter intuitive.

    1. I keep a spreadsheet of all my loads and then add the incidental charges. There were 217 miles missing last month (no clue what that was) and 3105 extra this month, but I think they added some early June charges, so I'm going to have to figure out when the "turn" date is for the month.

    2. My bank is already in WM BP system and they did tell me that YES I can do a bill pay to the bank for my mortgage. Same way you do the others. Bring a month pay statement with you.

    That does not make sense. Last month I was missing several hundred miles, this month I'm 1,100 over. My $100 loads (which will now be $200) are all in the middle of the month, at least a week on either side of those dates.

    Hey guys...I plan to charge $200,000 on this card per year (mainly paying taxes). If you were flagged by Suntrust for I guess using this excessively for the sole purpose of earning miles, how much did you spend on this card until you were flagged!

    Help is appreciated!

    Ditto. I had similar low points last month and high points this month.

    As I'm looking to increase my AGC purchases and not go over my CC CLs, has anyone bought AGCs with the ST checkcard? It would be a credit purchase so it would seem to me that Suntrust would appreciate it, but I don't know ...

    Edit: PMs on this would be appreciated.

    NO, must be PIN based...btw, this is not the card to waste AGC purchases on
