What are good value International routes to redeem Delta sky miles? Routes that are under 100 K on United /AA are like 400K on delta in miles. Or is it the case that they are devalued so much?

There are monthly flash deals, that’s generally the best use of delta miles.

Look for flights from hubs. It’s easy to get round trip for like 40-60k in main cabin. Time of year matters too.

Nope, international. Went Tampa to Amsterdam this year for 30k round trip or so. NYC to a bunch of places is around 30-40k. Detroit and Atlanta have around the same prices in my experience.

CSP
Marriott Bonvoy Boundless
Citi double cash

Beginner here. I'm trying to use my points to buy a flight to Puerto Rico. If Delta costs me 55k points on my Amex (valued at $600 per Points Guy), versus United which costs me 60k points (valued at $700), shouldn't I still just go with the Delta cause I'm spending less points?
