Just when i thought Delta couldnt go any lower, they continue to surprise me and slap their customer in the face. With all the ng changes, i regret applying for the Delta gold. What should i do with it? Any suggestion? SD or cancel? Would Amex BL me if i cancel a card after 2 months?

No major changes were announced in the last 2 months to the Skymiles program, what is your issue w Delta?
Took down award chart, restrict low level availability. And most recently, reduce partner's availability. I only app bc of 50k bonus+50$ statement, i think i have AF waive 1st year as well.

Not sure what this means. When I search for flights on app I clearly see miles needed and $$$ required.
Yes, they changed the layout. It used to be a grid where you had some specific sets of criteria then miles for those criteria flights. Then you had to interpret what flight fit in the grid where. I could never make sense of it.
With the new interface, you get a clear idea what each flight costs, can toggle between points and miles, even use some points, some cash.
OP I would just keep it open. The first year AF is waived, and even if you pay the AF and decide after that to cancel, you get a prorated refund. There are probably other AMEX you could PC to if you ask after a year.
