I want to use my Flying Blue status to get SkyTeam elite status on Delta. I have a Delta account. Previously when doing this, the advice was to checkout on Delta as a guest and only listing your flying Blue Number. Then you can add the trip to the app after you log out by using the confirmation number.
Do you still have to do this or has delta gotten smarter?
I’m trying to optimize my setup to funnel spend into Bilt points using Rakuten’s In-Store and Dining programs. Since both dining platforms run on the Rewards Network, I need recent data points: if you link your Bilt Mastercard to Rakuten Dining, does it break your native Bilt Dining wallet? Additionally, are you successfully double-dipping Rakuten In-Store retail offers alongside Bilt’s neighborhood benefits?
Finally, how are you handling the physical versus virtual Bilt card numbers? Rakuten terms technically exclude virtual cards, so do you link both to cover Apple Pay, or stick strictly to the physical number?
