American Express and Delta SkyMiles offer double miles
The skies are a bit friendlier for DeltaSky members carrying an American Express SkyMiles credit card.
July 1 through Dec. 31, 2009 DeltaSky members will earn double flown miles on all Delta and Northwest flights. New and existing card members simply register online at deltadoublemiles.com by Sept. 30, 2009. Any flights completed on or by Dec. 31 earn the double miles reward. The flights do not need to be purchased using the American Express SkyMiles credit card. Previously booked travel is also eligible for the double miles promotion.
“In one of our longest and richest promotions ever, Delta SkyMiles Credit Card members can receive double flown miles for the next six months, plus all of the other great benefits they usually enjoy," Jeff Robertson, Delta’s vice president of loyalty programs, said. “Additionally, our merger with Northwest creates the world’s largest airline and enables members to earn miles on more than 16,000 flights daily and redeem them for travel to more than 382 destinations across six continents.”
New card members can apply for a credit card and register online for the double flown miles promotion, receive 20,000 bonus miles with the first card purchase, and earn an additional 2,500 miles when adding a new Card member to the account. The card has no annual fee for the first year and a $95 annual fee after the first year with a 9.99% prime ARP on purchases.
