It's rare that we see a promotion quite as flexible as what the carrier launched this week, though. Now through Saturday, you can redeem SkyMiles at a flat rate of [two cents each]( toward a flight and hotel package with a 2+ night stay. Since some members have millions of miles, Delta's added a reasonable cap — you can burn up to 999,999 miles to book a vacation package worth just under $20k. We can work with that... Notably, you don't need to have the full balance in your account — you can [transfer points in]( if you wish, or you can use the miles you do have to offset the regular price, [closing the gap]( using cash. Best yet, tickets book into paid fare classes, so the flight portion of your package will earn both redeemable SkyMiles and Medallion Qualification Miles, getting you closer to [elite status]( in the process. -Zach Honig, Editor-at-Large Posts in this newsletter contains references to products from one or more of our advertisers.
