🛫 Changes to Delta Cards

Delta and Amex have rolled out some changes to their cards, resulting in some new perks, larger welcome bonuses, and higher annual fees. If you're a regular Delta flyer, I think the changes to the Platinum card are the most appealing, but take a look.

• ​​Delta SkyMiles® Gold American Express Card​​
• ​​Delta SkyMiles® Platinum American Express Card​
• ​​Delta SkyMiles® Reserve American Express Card​​

If you want a deeper analysis, ​this article​ from Frequent Miler​ includes a full breakdown of all the changes.

🇹🇷 Big Turkish Miles Devaluation Next Week

Turkish Air's Miles & Smiles program is one of my favorite programs for booking business class awards, but ​it looks like​ you're going to need as much as 80% more miles to book your awards starting 2/15. So you have about a week to transfer Capital One, Bilt Rewards or Citi points to take advantage of their incredible business class pricing (all one-way):

• Europe: 45,000
• Middle East: 47,000
• Central Asia: 52,500 (e.g. India, Nepal, etc.)
• Within the US: 12,500 (includes Alaska/Hawaii)

Just make sure you confirm availability before transferring.

Just know it's 8,000+ words, so you'll need to set aside a bit of time.
