I’m Sick and Tired of Hearing that Delta Rewards Its Highest Valued Customers, Because it Just Ain’t True

There's a persistent myth that Delta's new mileage program rewards its highest value customers, or at least those who spend the most on tickets. But that's sloppy thinking. They're actually rewarding most customers, including those with above average spend, far less than before. And that doesn't even factor in the value of the miles which are being earned, which are among the least valuable.

While there are uses for SkyMiles (the value of their points is not zero), there are many reasons that a high spending customer might want to choose Delta -- the mileage program is just not one of them.

Answering 9 Common Questions About The Citi Prestige Card

As most of you probably know by now, the Citi Prestige Card is offering an increased sign-up bonus of 50,000 ThankYou Rewards points after spending $3,000 on the card within the first three months. At a minimum that sign-up bonus will get you $800 worth of travel on American and US Airways.

Not only is this a great sign-up bonus, but the Citi Prestige Card is one which has value beyond the bonus. The card comes with a lot of perks, including the following:

-- A $250 annual airline credit

-- Access to American Admirals Clubs

-- The most comprehensive Priority Pass membership offered by any card

-- A $100 Global Entry fee credit

-- A great points earnings structure

-- No foreign transaction fees

I've been receiving many questions about the card, so thought I'd go through and answer them here.
