QUOTE
Over
on
the
Flyertalk
forumsthere
is
some
buzz
about
two
stackable
promotions
that
can
turn
50,000
American
Express
Membership
Rewards
points
into
90,000
Delta
SkyMiles
and
instant
Silver
elite
status
(25,000
elite
qualifying
miles).
This
is
another
nice
promo
for
those
that
fly
on
Delta,
making
flying
much
more
enjoyable.
Here’s
how
it
works:
First,
there
is
this
30%
bonus
offer
on
transfers
from
AMEX
points
to
Delta
miles
through
3/31/11.
Then,
there
is
a
separate
50%
bonus
offer
on
first-time
transfers
from
AMEX
points
to
Delta
miles
through
5/31/11.
In
addition,
if
you
50,000
points
or
more,
you’ll
also
receive
25,000
Medallion
Qualification
Miles
(MQMs).
This
is
enough
to
reach
Silver
Medallion
status
and
get
benefits
like
waived
baggage
fees,
priority
check-in,
priority
boarding,
the
ability
to
select
exit
row
seats
in
economy
class,
and
free
upgrades
to
first
class
(based
on
availability).
You’ll
have
elite
status
for
both
the
rest
of
2010
and
all
of
2011.
Many
people
have
confirmed
that
these
are
stackable,
meaning
you
can
get
both
at
the
same
time.
This
coincides
with
the
current
promotion
for
the
American
Express
Platinum
Card
which
is
offering
50,000
bonus
Membership
Rewards
points
for
spending
$1,000
within
3
months.
Thus,
if
you
transfer
50,000
points
using
the
offers
above,
you’d
end
up
with
another
80%
extra
=
90,000
Delta
Skymiles
and
Silver
elite
status.
If
you
value
miles
at
a
penny
per
mile,
90,000
miles
is
worth
$900.
The
AMEX
Platinum
does
have
a
hefty
$450
annual
fee.
Essentially
in
exchange
for
$450
you’ll
be
getting
90,000
miles,
elite
status,
first
class
lounge
access,
and
also
other
perks
like
$200
annually
to
spend
on
airline
incidentals
like
baggage
fees,
ticket
fees,
and
inflight
food
and
beverage.
The
first
class
lounge
access
is
valid
for
you
and
two
companions
at
American
Airlines
Admirals
Club,
Continental
Presidents
Club,
Delta
Sky
Club,
and
US
Airways
Clubs.
More
details
on
the
perks
here.
Another
tip
is
that
with
a
Platinum
card,
you
can
get
the
50,000
points
upfront
from
the
Membership
Rewards
website,
getting
the
90,000
miles
earlier
and
without
having
to
worry
about
promotion
deadlines.
