Delta will get more business from me fromnow on. Kudos to Delta and Southwest.

Bump for home. Assuming they're still good (most recent is around 2 years ago on these carriers), will do Delta and American.

BTTT!!!!!!

Great idea. If I'm not mistaken, FF miles expire after 18 months, so if you have not flown in a while, and don't plan on doing so, please consider donating them rather than letting them go to waste.
