DL Amex in the Freddies?
Show your support by voting for the Delta SkyMiles Credit Card from American Express
Nope. My SPG Amex? Most assuredly; my StarPoints are worth quite a bit to me, and redeeming them is a breeze.
SkyPesos? Even DL doesn't want them given how damn hard they make it to obtain international award travel.
In the battle between SkyMiles and Revenue Mgt, it's the DL customer that is the loser.

I tend to agree I rank my SPG amex as the best card I have. Second use to be my Hilton Amex, but that is under review. MY DL amex is not worth a lot to me.

AMEX & DL should be given the Hall of Shame award for the devastation they have caused to customers of the SkyPesos program. They wouldn't be called Pesos if Robertson didn't devalue them by selling billions of them to AMEX.

Perhaps Chase Priority Club VISA might be a not-laugh-yourself-silly entry in the credit card category...
Or any number of free points and cash-back cards....

The Club Carlson card has racked up a ton of points for me for very low spend, and redemption value is quite good in 2 night blocks. Main con is the limited number of properties and no real 'high-end' ones either. But for mid tier....nice.

Amex is Delta's ATM, and Slippery Jeff is Amex's Cabaņa Boy.
