If you are wondering how many miles you would get for every dollar of spending then the answer is 1$ = 1 mile.

You only get bonus miles if you shop through Delta's shopping portal or their special mile earning promotions.

All delta purchases gets your 2 miles for every dollar spent.

2 miles per $ on Delta Purchases 

1 mile per $ on everything else, including gas, water, earth, uranium, private space tours or anything thats not Delta lol.

You can use your points for Delta flights. Thats a benefit for me. Say for example, flight costs $165, you can use 10650 miles for that flight. You can also use it on award flights, if you're flying alone. You'll almost never find 2 on the same business class seats on the same flight.

You do need the credit card to use the Pay with points feature.

Re: Delta skymiles rewards help

Not starting in January when they make the switches. Only benefit will be early boarding and free checked bag.

SWEET! Then i'd have a real reason to get rid of that card! They better reduce the AF to about $20 then. Do you mind linking me to where you found this information?
