Finally pulled the plug on this card. I was caught below the $3k balance often and they whack you the $12 a month fee even if you fall below $3k for a day. It happened often. Was MS about $5k a month and getting 60K miles in a year was cool and all but a huge PITA as I am in CA and the mobile deposit cap made this hard as well. I would venture to say I paid the $12 fee 10/12 months and the $75 annual fee for about 60,000 miles (which is about one domestic skypeso award 
). So about $200 total.
My time has a value too and running to WM to buy MO's all the time just stopped being fun. FWIW, that's my take. Farewell my southern banking friend...

I end up usually buying 2k-3k in MO each visit to a grocery store. SunTrust fraud alerts are so slow and constant it can be difficult to repeatedly load BB and such.
I've been doing it for about 3 months or so maybe.

I hear you on the ST fraud alerts. Every month like clockwork I get denied and either wait for the call/text or call the automated fraud line, verify the charges, and get back in line. I'm doing some similar stuff as you, but a much lower scale. 1 BB account and a few MO's here and there.

No, it's just buying MO and some bluebird. I have 6 BB accounts but usually the kiosk is down and SunTrust is such a PITA with their fraud alerts it makes it so difficult.

EDIT: Adding that if you aren't concerned with getting MQM bonuses from the Delta Amex cards, the SPG Amex is probably better as you can transfer 20k SPG points for 25k skymiles (I believe). So from a true RDM earning perspective, one can earn more skymiles with the SPG Amex however they don't get the MQM bonuses if spending thresholds are met. MQM are the sole reason I have the DL Amex cards (they do provide some other benefits, but it's the MQM that is the biggest to me).

I've have the Delta Skymiles Suntrust card, but I can't figure out where to find a detailed breakdown for what purchases actually gave me miles...
In my Skymiles account on Delta.com, when I go to Manage My Account/View Activity, I only see the total skymiles amount attributed to the card each month. I want to know WHAT EXACTLY gave me those miles. I've called Delta, they said call Suntrust, and they said call Delta... I need an itemized breakdown so I can figure out why I'm spending $2000 a month but only getting about 700 miles, etc.
I've also looked over my suntrust statement. No breakdown there either. Any help will be much appreciated. Thanks, Chance
