care to elaborate? I am not sure I have it in me to be afraid of an award chart, or the lack thereof.

This is just like the book Animal Farm: The pigs trample over their own posted rules; and when the other animals call them out on it, they just change the rules!

DL used a line that no other major U.S. airline or hotel program has used before to try to justify no-advance-notice award price changes.

Amex will just try to convert those DL credit card customers into Amex MR customers and grant an option to transfer MR to points in various programs or redeem them for regular paid tickets at a fixed value per MR point. Oh wait, Amex is largely already there.

Wow rather than just admit to additive pricing they take down the award charts. Someone must have threatened to sue or something. This will really hurt them counter any press that skymiles is expensive - there wont be any proof. Airlines have all kept the 25k domestic award for marketing eventhough its rarely available. Skymiles will be too confusing for average person

And who knows if "they just convert" to another AMEX product. People who want a non-DL AMEX card may already have one.
How about you? Do you have a DL credit card? What are you gonna do when 1 Skymile = 1 cent?

Conversion is still a loss to the Delta credit card product.

I'm not a DL flyer, but I'm infuriated for y'all. This is ridiculous.How is anyone supposed to know what an award is "supposed" to be valued at? It seems like they could charge any arbitrary value now. Not to mention increasing redemption values without telling anyone.
One of the most important things in a FFP is transparency. Sure they can increase the requirements for an award, but at least tell us or give us some sort of advanced notice. Loss of transparency is probably one of the top ways to lose their most valued customers. It's too bad they have a decent hard product because their FFP is absolutely rubbish.

Even if all airlines go down the 1 mile = 1 cent route, which Delta is clearly on (copying Qantas, although Qantas is heading toward 1 = 0.7 cents), it's better to warehouse your credit card spend in a program like Amex MR where you at least have optionality as to where to transfer it.

Just another of Delta's continuous changes in the program. Just change the program to what you want it to and get it over with. Quit the endless slashing.
