American Express previously announced that they will limit transfers to Delta starting January 1. But, they changed their mind.
I think Delta awards tickets are too expensive so I probably would not transfer my points but sometimes they have the best routing to where I want to go.
If you were planning to transfer Amex points before the deadline, no need to rush now.
Got Amex Points to burn? Here's a much better transfer promotion if you have a lot of Amex points: 40% Transfer Bonus to British Airways Avios
Here is the message from American Express reversing course:
| We are writing to make you aware that the previously published Delta®SkyMiles® program update, which would have limited the number of Membership Rewards® points that could be transferred into a SkyMiles¹ account beginning January 1st, will not take effect.As part of American Express’ continued partnership with Delta, this means that there will be no annual limit on point transfers from the Membership Rewards program² to the Delta SkyMiles program. You will continue to enjoy your Membership Rewards benefits and the ability to transfer³ Membership Rewards points to the SkyMiles program as you do today.For questions, call us anytime at the number on the back of your Card.
