Yes, delta.com will sometimes show outrageous mileage redemption level. However, suggesting this is the norm or the only levels available is just plain silly. Case in point, I booked 5 tix for DTW-FCO this past summer for 60,000 miles/each.

WOW! So, in reading through these forums, it sounds like United has more reasonable reward point exchange and Delta counters with more points awarded. Is that an accurate summary?
I am a DL platinum that JUST made it again last year largely due to adding a connection on a flight. I also have their platinum card and live in Atlanta. So...should I stay Delta or consider a switch to something else? If not United, then who?

these posts were all mostly made before United massively devalued their points, particularly for partner award travel
