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."

    Just what does this question have to do with the SunTrust Bank SkyMiles debit card? The SkyMiles debit card is a consumer debit card. It is unrelated to having a merchant account where you accept American Express, Visa, or MasterCard as a payment in your own business. Let's stick to the topic of this thread - SunTrust offering a sign up bonus for their SkyMiles check card!

    From what I read in the thread, much of it is on the topic of debit-specific opportunities that come with having the card, some of which can result in 1099s. If there's a better place for my original question, please direct me there.

    Can someone who lives by a branch help me out?

    I need to change my beneficiary designation on my Suntrust account.

    The CSR said she can't help me via email that I need to go to my local branch. I'm nowhere near a branch.

    If it is easy for someone to pick one up and mail it to me, I'd be happy to send you a self-addressed stamped envelope.

    Shoot me a PM with your address. Happy to help. Just validate this is indeed a form I can pickup, and I'll grab one tomorrow. There is a branch in my community.

    Cheers

    Is anyone having issues with charges not showing up properly? I loaded $100 to BB and the charge was completed on BBs end, and I have the credit in my account, but it doesn't even show up as pending in ST.

    Issues transfering $ to ST?

    For the past few days I have not been able to transfer $ from my WF account to my ST account. ST's site spits out an error that there are "insufficient funds available" in my WF account, which is not true.

    I've spent time with the technical people with WF and ST and told me all my accounts are in good standing and each blame the other for the issue.

    Anyone else having this trouble? I've been making similar transfers for almost two years now and never have had this issue.

    Hoping this is not the beginning of the end...

    Venmo?

    Can others confirm that Venmo is history? For two months, I've gotten about half the miles I expected and was wondering if this was why.

    Maybe I should post in the Evolve thread, but it does not look like my Evolve payment posted for this past period. ST has the transaction description as "RECURRING CHECK CARD PURCHASE VESTA"

    Anyone else have problems with Evolve?
