The value of ff miles is getting to look more and more like the value of the Zimbabwe dollar. DL and US are leading the charge to trash ff programs and there is a real danger of other airlines following suit. Some already are to a limited degree.
For years, I have used mile-earning credit cards to top up ff accounts, but the two cards I have had, DL Amex and NW Visa, I have recently notified the card issuers not to renew. There are too many cash-back cards out there which give you real money, not miles, whose value is going the way of the Zimbabwe dollar.
Of course some airline miles will depreciate quicker than others, but the danger is there for all programs.
