My best friend, Clay, loves Delta Air Lines — and he loves reminding me that with his [Delta SkyMiles® Platinum American Express Card]( he can book award flights for fewer miles than I can since I don’t carry the card at the moment. How? Delta’s [TakeOff 15 program]( which launched last year, gives holders of certain cobranded cards a 15% discount on all award flights. Now, 15% might not sound like a lot, but with a hefty redemption, it can be significant. If you’re booking a 100,000-mile award, saving 15,000 miles could be equivalent to a domestic flight (and, in my best friend’s case, bragging rights). Delta's cobranded cards have [limited-time offers right now]( with elevated welcome bonuses that can help you earn miles quickly. The [Delta SkyMiles Platinum card]( offers 90,000 bonus miles after you spend $4,000 on purchases on your new card in your first six months. For United Airlines loyalists, [you can also unlock savings]( if you are a cardholder with access to expanded economy-class saver awards. You also have the option to join the waitlist for business-class saver awards. Right now, the [United℠Business Card]( is offering 100,000 bonus miles after you spend $5,000 on purchases in the first three months your account is open. This bonus is worth around $1,450 based on TPG's valuation of United miles at 1.45 cents each.
