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."

    I live in a town with two Walmarts. One insists they all MO for that visit on one receipt (which limits me to 2k (4 500 swipes)). The other really couldn't care less as the gals know me and already know the amounts of the MO. I have done 4-5k a couple of times but most times around 3-4 k. Never had info collected at that one. The first one they collected once but never since.

    Once I heard the word "fee," i ran the hills. I don't like paying out of pocket for miles.

    I thought they made a change to only accepting debit cards from major banks, and then those would be charged a fee. That is when I quit using Evolve. Did I get that wrong?

    Yes suntrust is consider a "major" bank. Major banks are not charged a fee on Evolve. It's based on their total asset base. I have not paid a single fee on evolve using my suntrust card.

    up to the banks/tellers discretion, but what you are asking could be construed as structuring...careful

    Who are you paying via Evolve?

    All my bills can be paid either directly by cc or debit online (no fee) or can be paid via WM BP. Obviously, I'd rather do those WM ones via evolve online from the comfort of my sofa, but I'm finding nada when I search the evolve database of payees.

    Thanks. My mortgage co isn't on evolve but is in WMBP. So that's what I've been doing. Shall continue. I'd like to prepay a few months when July gets here, but I don't know how to do that. Bank would likely just put it in as extra payment (not posted for future months).

    So it confirmed that DL miles are coming from Evolve?
