Question, how do you equate Delta miles to dollars? Basically the sitch is I booked flights for BFF and I; bc they were so cheap (21k r/t each), and I said I’d cover it/no payment needed. She now needs to change the return leg (I will keep original) to go to an event I am not going to. But changing it is an additional 18.5k miles. That’s a lot total for a domestic trip. I think she should pay that since the end of trip is no longer an “us” trip but idk how to calculate /approach value. Thoughts?

If you could give one piece of advice for points, what would it be? I am not an expert whatsoever, but I love having a Platinum Amex because I fly Delta and can go to Sky Clubs for free.

Can you catch omicron simultaneously or right after delta?

Any star alliance status match delta platinum?

Worth it to upgrade to Delta One for $500 on a ten hour flight? Traveling to Buenos Aires in mid May. Currently booked Main Cabin and have Gold Medallion.

How's Delta Airlines? I got shortlisted for interview for Senior Performance Engineer.

Declined for Delta Amex Gold because Experian report flagged me as ‘too many new cards’. I have only opened 1 (maybe 2 if you count Feb 2021 edge case) card in the last 12 months, and when I pulled my Experian report myself, there was no reference to having too many new cards or anything like the sort.

Going to call Experian Monday to see what’s going on. In the meantime, is it pointless to apply for the Alaska Airlines card until I speak with Experian?

Any PMs at Delta care to share their thoughts on working there?

Is it dumb to buy a $2m+ house on an interest only loan? Monthly mortgage payment is $4k instead of $10k with a fixed 30 yr mortgage.

Main downside is the need to refi after 10 yrs. I would get 6k cash flow every month to invest as the delta.

HHI is around 500k.

Holy the delta call center wait time is atrocious. First time calling the support line since 2019 when I waited max 25min. It’s been 3 hours!

Flying delta tomorrow to NYC. Boarding starts at 9:55 for 10:35 am flight. I am checking in 2 bags. What time do I need to get there by? ORD

Anyone have any delta beverage vouchers they’re willing to share? Didn’t land an upgrade and could really go for a drink or two after this week.

Hi everyone,

I hold an offer from Oracle (the project is about telecom domain 4G/5G related product).
Also holding an offer from Delta Airlines.

But My client Credit Suisse wants to retain me by matching the offer.

CTC is same with all of them and its not a concern.

Need your suggestion which company to choose for a long term perspective.

My Delta traveling SMEs: As a United premier 1K I’m pissed at the lack of perks . 1) I can’t combine miles and plus points. 2) NYC to LAX nonstop flights don’t have complimentary upgrades and 3) Tickets using miles do not have complimentary upgrades unless you have the $525 annual fee credit card … I’m frkn pissed. Is delta diamond any better?

Delta Gold Amex vs Alaska cards

Anyone have pros or cons of either? Found an offer for Alaska that has 60k + $100 statement credit + companion pass annually after $3k spend in 3 months. Delta Gold offer is as stated in their site. Preference would go to whichever one offers an instant card number to use, but I believe both of them do that.

Edit: am in SF with plans to take trips across US as well as up and down west coast

Based in NYC. Will be traveling weekly to MSP and SFO. What’s the best airline to use? Currently have united gold but considering doing a status match to Delta.

What should I use my Delta Reserve and Amex Platinum points for? I fly Delta 99% of the time. Is it best to use them for upgrades and miles, or something else?

Anyone know if a delta companion pass can be used on a multi city route?

Is the delta app down right now?

Just switched to a company that has United and Hilton as preference. As in they literally flag you when you don’t select them. I have Platinum status with Delta and Titanium with Marriott. I’ve signed up for status matches but any other tips for match challenges or earning with these vendors?

Why am I being put in main 2 for boarding with silver elite on delta. I know it’s the lowest status but it used to always be main 1 at least!

Not sure if perfect fit for this bowl but thought there would be opinions, I’m missing my Delta lounge access as my travel is picking up and am considering the Amex platinum for access vs. other options - does anyone have and consider the 700 annual fee worth it? Overrated? I had chase sapphire, downgraded during pandemic and with <$200 difference, feel I need to consider Amex. Any thoughts welcome!

Which airline has the best business class product on transcon JFK - LAX route? I'm torn between Delta One and JetBlue Mint.

Anything good I can spend Delta Skymiles besides airfare? (I’m not really planning on flying anywhere soon).

Does anyone know of a streamlined way to transfer Chase points to delta? Realize not as easy as via Amex
