When it comes to devaluing award programs, Delta is unrivaled in the airline space (Hilton does it’s best to keep up in the overall loyalty stakes). They first removed their award chart, now they devalue the program regularly without notice. US Credit Card Guide noticed that pricing on award flights to China has actually decreased. Here are the changes:
| Old Pricing | New Pricing | |
|---|---|---|
| Economy | 40,000 | 35,000 |
| Business | 95,000 | 85,000 |
I wonder if this is actually another mistake, or perhaps promotion awards have been loaded in without the announcement of the promotion yet? If Delta is lowering prices, something must be going on.
