Just wanted to let my fellow HTF'ers know about this.  Delta has a Delta Marketplace in which  you can trade in your skymiles you earn for gifts instead of free tickets.   Since I fly a good bit, I have been trading in my miles for Amex Gift Cards from time to time and using them to buy guns and gun accessories each year.

If you have a lot of Delta miles saved up and nothing to do with them, why not trade them in for Amex gift cards and get free guns and ammo  :)

The only downside is that the largest denomination they sell is $100 gift cards.  So you need to find a website that will take multiple cards online if you want to buy something more than $100, or what I do is go to a local store and they do multiple cards towards my purchases.  

Depending on your status, you can get $100 gift card for around 18,000 or less miles.   If you have a Delta Amex card, it is even cheaper.

I tried this last year and the cards arrived one day late.  

I can cash in 11k miles for $100 Amex.  Strange that the prices vary that much.  Be careful picking certain stores on there.  I cashed in for $500 at bps last year and now they aren't listed.

The amount of miles depends on your status on Delta and if you have a Delta Reserve or Platinum Amex.  I getbem for 11,000 as well.

almost every place I have ever dealt with allows split payments.  you won't be able to do it online but you can call the company for it.  biggest was AIM with 5 or 6 gift cards at once.

I'm in the Delta Skymiles Marketplace now and don't see how you can redeem miles for gift cards.  How are you searching for the AMEX cards?

You need to sign in first with your skymiles number, PIN, and last name.  Then at the bottom of the list on the left, you will see a link for Gift Cards.  In there will be Amex, and about a dozen other cards for food and shopping.

I will just call Delta's customer service because I don't see what you see.  I have a Skymiles debit card from Suntrust so maybe that makes a difference.
