I don't even remember the sub I got. I need to look that up.

You probably got the same 75k Skymiles for $3k spend plus $100 statement credit referral SUB like I did.

That, I did.

Thanks for posting... those are some sweet SUBs!

Imma see what rabbit trick I can pull out of the hat 🐰🎩

No problem. Yeah, I wished I waited to apply for Delta Platinum now instead of last month. The extra 25k Skymiles would be nice. 

---

Well, if it's any consolation, I got the Delta Platinum almost a year ago and it had the highest published SUB at the time.  So, you win some, you lose some.  Now, Delta Gold?  Hellloooo pretty 🤩

I only wish the Delta Platinum Biz had just as good of a SUB as the personal one.

---

The Business cards have the same SUBs as the personal cards.

Coolness.  I just checked and for sure.  I believe these launch offers are now subject to the revised AFs.

I got an average of 3.5 cent per Skypeso last year with 3 international trips. 2 economy rountrip flights to Tokyo and Zurich for 30k Skypesos each. A Delta One roundtrip to Amsterdam for 98k Skypesos.

I can get about 1.7 cpp base on Main Cabin domestic from my midwest airport. Though, I have a London one-way I have my eyes on which is closer to 3 cpp.
 
Oh man, that Platinum SUB is mighty tasty. That is a First Class international round way.
 
I just requested a new replacement card in the app and to be expidited for my Delta Gold. The confirmation email had the new design in it so hopeful. Might actually make me carry the thing.

EDIT: lol my signature photo is straight from the amex hyperlink so it changed too

Wow, that's really good. Flash sales or through transfer partners?

Yeah, I just found out there's a metal option. I literally just got the card Monday. Was hoping I would get the new design, but I didn't

Flash sales for the Delta One flight. The economy flights, I randomly found searching Delta's site using the Low Fare Calendar.

Most of my travel is between LAX, SFO, and JFK. Cash prices tend to be reasonably competitive with so many airlines flying these routes.

So far I've gotten a few redemptions at ~1.5 cents, but I still have a lot of DL miles as well as Virgin Atlantic miles from the +30% promo.

Any suggested ways of booking Comfort+ awards for a non-elite for just a modest mileage premium over Main?

Purely aesthetic reasons, but I hope the SkyMiles account number is still printed on the back of the card.
