This week of excitement is plugging along nicely and there is MORE on the way soon. Boy, has there been a ton going on here at Delta Points and in all of “blogland” with the 75,000 point AMEX card – DEAD NOW (but you have to run $10,000 to get the points – not for me – as I am working on my Delta Reserve card), to controversy from one end to the other. Wow!
I also promised to have an email reader giveaway. How about just cash (in the form of a gift card). I used Random.org and today’s $25 gift card winner is old school subscriber # 259 Ryan T.!
Congratulation Ryan, I will contact you via email.
While we are talking FREE cash, I have not blogged about the kool deal with AMEX if you buy and LOAD $200 from your checking account to a prepaid card you also get a FREE $25 from AMEX. There is NO credit pull, NO shipping charge or anything! So is 5 min of your time worth $25?
(DEAL IS OVER!)
So why don’t we try this, since I took advantage of this deal as you can see, I will soon have one of these FREE $25 gift card on the way that I will now giveaway to a random reader 24 hrs from now.
Here is how you enter. You must tell me what your favorite Delta Points post is this year. The only thing that will disqualify you is if you say THIS ONE!
Have fun and thanks for being a e-mail subscriber and reading the blog – René

A while ago you did a couple of posts (and tied them together) explaining the various BE seats throughout the Delta fleet – I found those helpful.

The Q&A posts
How to triple/quadruple dip your Delta Skymiles with BestBuy
I enjoyed your post about your IHG Cleveland experience.
Your trip to Sweden.
I enjoy your trip reports and how best to maximize Delta award travel. Text alerts was a good one too
The stopover/open jaw post was most informative!
I enjoyed the Philadelphia trip report.
The post on retention offers you were given when calling to cancel/negotiate
Earning miles paying utility bills.
The blog post on comparing Business and First Class options across Sky Team carriers. Looking forward to a continued report on that! Delta, Air France and KLM were covered.
My favorite recent post is:
Could you earn a free domestic Skymiles ticket each year from just doing surveys?
I have been an e-rewards member for years, but I have slacked off due to being rejected after 10 minutes of survey taking. I feel they get some info, then cut me off before they “pay” me, but maybe I will try to answer more surveys now if it will get me more air miles!
I loved your post “While the “cats” away the mice will play!”
I like the 200,000 Delta sky miles in just one year
Jan. 17. How to book 3 trips for the price of 2. I see I have left value on the table with my previous award trips…
The trip reports – always a lot to learn, put away and take out and review for my own much more limited travels.
The one explaining all the different Am Ex Delta credit cards.
