My guess is once there Amex cardholder portfolio gets heavy enough with those carrying a balance(not everyone will, but some inevitably will), then Delta will do away with the waiver.

Does the UA credit card offer a waiver?

Agree. And as I'm averaging 17 cpm this year, ditching the Amex waiver would be fine in my book.

I expect the average ticket price to rise about 17% next year, and this apparent change seems to reflect this. The MQD requirement will continue to rise as long as the average ticket price does as well.

whoa, slow down turbo. Don't know when the MQD threshold will hit the 25K mark; maybe when the toll at the GWB hits $20.00 a pop, but definitely no time soon. As for the DL AMEX tie up, I don't think anyone here knows for sure how long it will last for but if they do get rid of the waiver, then my days as a DM are sunk.

Rene is in Randy's BoardingArea while TPG seems to be independent (and very successful).
TPG started this thread.
