    Question what will happen to my northwest world perks credit card?

    now that delta and northwest have merged what will happen to my northwest worldperks visa that is issued by chase? they sent me a letter warning that it would convert to a generic rewards card and that i should sign up for the american express delta card instead. i have had this airline card over a decade and am finding this process confusing because it looks like a tug of war. u.s. bancorp is issuing me a travel card and amex is trying to warn me it is a generic card and i should switch to theirs instead. what do i do?

    I looked into this with Delta and here are a few things which will definitely happen:

    * On August 22nd 2009 your Northwest credit card will stop earning miles. The ones you've accumulated will be safe but it will not earn any more from that date forward.

    * Your card will not automatically be converted to the American Express Delta Skymiles card.You will have to apply if you'd like one.

    * Your World Perks miles will transfer over to your Delta Skymiles account. If you don't have a frequent flyer mile account with them you can sign up one for free through Delta's website.
    Disclosure: I am a moderator/paid staff of this site, which does have advertising relationships with some credit cards that are discussed. Regardless, anything I say is my honest opinion.

    Current Cards:
    American Express: Blue Cash, Simply Cash Bank of America: WorldPoints Platinum Plus Chase: Amazon, British Airways, Cash Plus Rewards, Freedom, Ink Cash Citi: Thank You Premier, Dividend Platinum Select Discover: More
    Primary Everyday Card: American Express Blue Cash
    Primary Travel Card: Citi Thank You Premier
