Delta Eliminates Mileage Expiration

I received the email below from Delta this morning.  This is certainly an interesting move.  Now, there’s no rush to spend 350,000 miles on a single transpacific business class ticket!

We've eliminated mileage expiration so use miles on your timeline, not ours.

Hello Mr. Mileage Millionaire,

You now can earn miles without worrying if and when they will expire as we have eliminated our mileage expiration policy - no asterisk, no fine print, no ifs, ands or buts.

So regardless of your future SkyMiles activity, redeem your miles whenever you want for Award Travel to 350+ worldwide destinations, car rentals, hotel stays, newspapers, magazines and one-of-a-kind auction packages.

We are proud to be the only major U.S. carrier without mileage expiration.
