Delta Flash Sale - 42.5k Round-Trip to Auckland in Economy

Delta miles are mostly worthless until these flash sales come along. Right now, you can find round-trip routes in economy at reasonable prices:

Los Angeles to:

• Auckland (AKL) - 50k points

• Tahiti (PPT) - 50k points

• Tokyo (HND & NRT) - 52k points

• Sydney (SYD) - 78k points

Delta credit card holders get 15% off award prices, bringing AKL RT down to 42.5k from 50k points.

Decent availability through Nov 2023 with scattered availability between Dec 2023 to Aug 2024 depending on routes. Available for US cities besides LAX.

Optimal Credit Card Strategy:

AMEX is the only Delta transfer partner so you’ll want to open AMEX cards. You absolutely want to try to pull the 150k AMEX Business Gold offer right now.

To attempt the 150k offer, head to this blog post and try the 3 methods that are called out in the comments. For me, the same-tab reddit method worked in Chrome incognito on a Phoenix VPN location.

If you can’t pull 150k, for more advanced churners, here are three 110k no-lifetime-language (NLL) links that are reported to bypass pop-up, but YMMV. As usual, use incognito and don’t log in.

Move quickly, these will likely go fast.
