Delta Airlines made a surprising announcement earlier today that is great news for all of us in the miles and points community. Starting on April 1st, 2015 they will begin allowing partner award redemptions for awards on Singapore Airlines. Despite a history of not allowing award redemptions for first class travel, Delta will curiously only allow redemptions in Singapore Suites; no coach, no business class; it’s suites or bust.
Delta loyalty program director, Hugh Jorgan, broke the news at a press conference in rural Antartica today saying “This is a bold move for Delta and I think people will be pleased with the results. We’ve built our loyalty program on the principle that you can charge more for less and continually diminish peoples’ expectations as to what they can expect for their loyalty. But that all changes today.”
