How many delayed flights in a row until you'd consider calling delta and saying something. I spend so many hours every week in the dang airport 🙄

My united flight is consistently delayed at Newark.

Instantly ... gave me like 10k points

Where do you fly into, OP?

Last year had 15 consecutive delayed UA flights.

ATL (lots of delays) & DCA (always delayed to everywhere)

Ah. I fly into LGA, so I know the pain. My recommendation is to invest in the Amex Platinum card (if you don't already have it), because it gives you complimentary access to the Delta lounge, which is not a bad place to spend delays. It's a $550 annual fee which is steep, but partially offset by a $200 Uber credit, a $200 airline purchase credit, plus the lounge access and other perks.
If you have an Amex corporate card, you can also link the accounts and pool points.

Thanks EY2! I have csr but it's not living up to the hype. Unfortunate thing about DCA is no lounge!! But think I may switch anyway- great tip!

If you go Amex Plat, always chose Centurion lounge over Delta whenever there's a choice

@OP- Amex plat has a ton of other perks. Check out the points guy for a break down. Of note, you get free boingo Wi-fi, status with Marriott, Hilton, National, and Hertz, and some other things. The concierge is awesome for hard to get restaurants & tickets. They also just changed to a metal card which is pretty slick also.
