Our Verdict

This is 10,000 miles more than what the public bonuses recently were, Delta no longer have an award chart and Delta miles will again be devalued for travel starting after June 1st, 2016. I don’t have a lot of faith left with Delta (and I didn’t have much to begin with), so if you’re going to sign up for the bonus then using the miles sooner rather than later is recommended – although this holds true for all loyalty programs.

Hat tip to around the world in eighty dollars, who I think was the first to post about this. Apologies if I missed somebody else, just let me know in the comments.
