Don't Fall For It, Delta's Massive Devaluation Is Still Happening

October 22, 2023 at 14:50 EDT By Spencer Howard

"Delta announced requirements for its SkyMiles loyalty program elite levels would increase by 50-100% but after backlash reduced those adjustments to 25-67% increases. That’s not going to be good enough."

Points Wire Note: Delta never said they were wrong to devalue SkyMiles so drastically. They merely said they did it too fast and they only said this because of the severe backlash. Delta pulled back a bit, but still plan to implement the original plan. They're just doing it a bit slower with the hope that you won't notice.
