Buy an AMEX cheque card online using this link:
http://www.americane...ss.com/deltatcc
-Load it with $1600
-Purchase fee is $14.95
-Pay with your AMEX Delta or Starwood card or other AMEX card
-Enter promo code 202 (and your Skymiles number?)
-You will get 2500 bonus miles AND a $25 gift card
-You wull get purchase points/miles from your AMEX credit/charge card
-Offer expires December 31, 2005
Use an ATM (you'll need to find a no-surcharge ATM) to get your money back, $2.50 fee for each ATM withdrawal ($400 max, you will need to do four withdrawals)
Total: $25 gift card - purchase fee $14.95 - $2.50 x 4 = you make $0.01 and 2500 + 1615 Delta miles = 4115 miles (or 2500 Delta miles and 1615 Starpoints; or 2500 Delta miles and 1615 MR points)
$25 Gift card limit one per customer. You can load more money when buy this card and get more starpoints or Delta miles which will be cheap (but not free - $2.5 ATM fee per 400 miles/points = $0.0062 per mile). $2,750 is the maximum you may load on your Card(s) during any 14-day period.
This can also be used as a cheap way to get cash out of your AMEX cards. But if you abuse it AMEX may close your cards.

Another version of this deal:
buy $700 cheque card, pay with AMEX card or visa/mastercard debit card
get 2500 miles and $25 gift card
pay $14.95 purchase fee and $5 for two ATM withdrawals (or just use the cheque card for purchases)
make $5 or $10 and 2500 Delta miles
-----------
I did not try to do this myself yet. Did I miss anything? Seems like a deal.
