Quick Thoughts
Delta is offering a smaller bonus than those currently being offered by American, Southwest, and United, but some bonus beats no bonus if you plan to buy something and are looking for Delta SkyMiles. The United promotion offers both the highest return and highest rate of return on spend, so if you’re looking to spend a bit more than the thresholds for other airlines, United could be a good choice. As always it depends on how you will use the miles and as we mentioned yesterday, be sure to factor in these bonus miles when comparing rates at Cashbackmonitor.com.
