3) The annual fee for the Gold Delta SkyMiles Credit Card will be waived for the first year of Cardmembership. The annual fee will be $95 thereafter.

Thanks a lot - for posting about converting delta miles to GCs!
I've got 58000 delta miles and was not sure what to do with them!!!

You are very welcome, fotomaniak!

I think all gift cards are now gone from SkyMiles Marketplace (was it you, who bought them all... j/k). I will be moving all Delta gift card deals to the expired bonuses board.
