Earn up to 110,000 bonus miles with a new Delta SkyMiles credit card
American Express and Delta are out with all-new welcome bonus offers across three personal credit cards within the Delta SkyMiles suite: Delta SkyMiles® Gold American Express Card: Earn 80,000 bonus miles after spending $3,000 on eligible purchases in your first six months of card membership. Delta SkyMiles® Platinum American Express Card: Earn 90,000 bonus miles after spending $4,000 on eligible purchases in your first six months of card membership. Delta SkyMiles® Reserve American Express Card: Earn 100,000 bonus miles after spending $6,000 on eligible purchases in your first six months of card membership. There are also new offers on Delta business cards: Delta SkyMiles® Gold Business American Express Card: Earn 90,000 bonus miles after spending $6,000 on eligible purchases in your first six months of card membership. Delta SkyMiles® Platinum Business American Express Card: Earn 100,000 bonus miles after spending $8,000 on eligible purchases in your first six months of card membership. Delta SkyMiles® Reserve Business American Express Card: Earn 110,000 bonus miles after spending $12,000 on eligible purchases in your first six months of card membership. With over 290 destinations across six continents and more than 200 million customers served in 2024, Delta is one of the most well-known airlines worldwide. And you could reduce much of the upfront cost of flying to one of Delta's global destinations if you're able to take advantage of these generous sign-up bonuses. It depends on how you redeem the miles, but we value Delta SkyMiles at an average of 1.18 cents each. That means 100,000 miles equals about $1,180. However, as with many airline credit cards, the exact value of your miles depends on how you use them. Since Delta uses dynamic pricing, you can see different values with each redemption. You can find plenty of value with 100,000 (give or take, depending on the welcome offer) Delta SkyMiles. This is especially true when accounting for the TakeOff 15 benefit, which provides an automatic 15% discount on eligible award flights for Delta SkyMiles cardholders. Let's take a look at some possible redemptions. You can fly from Los Angeles (LAX) to Auckland (AKL) for 38,200 miles. The cash price for the same flight is $1,341, giving you a redemption value of about 3.5 cents per mile ($1,341 / 38,200 = 0.035104). You'll still have plenty of miles left to figure out your return flight, which could mean including a stop in Australia after visiting Hobbiton (and while you're in the area). This flight from Salt Lake City (SLC) to Mexico City (MEX) will only set you back 26,300 miles. The redemption value for this flight is about 1.5 cents per mile, which is better than our average valuation. And with miles to spare, you can bring some friends or work on covering the return leg home. You don't have to get fancy with your redemptions; a short flight will do just fine if it saves you money, especially if it's a route you frequently take. Consider this example: A flight between Atlanta (ATL) and Miami (MIA) that costs 8,300 miles or $117. With 100,000 miles, you could take this flight 12 times, giving you plenty of opportunities for vacations or visiting friends and family. This particular flight has a redemption value of about 1.4 cents per mile. See which flavor — Gold, Platinum, or Reserve — of Delta SkyMiles card is the best fit for you. Consider which Delta SkyMiles business card is right for you if you run a small best Delta SkyMiles credit card for you depends on your goals and spending habits. If you only fly occasionally, maybe a few times per year, we recommend the Delta SkyMiles Gold Amex Card. This card has the lowest annual fee but still provides one of the best benefits: a free checked bag. With only a few roundtrip flights, you can offset the annual fee in saved baggage charges. If you travel a lot, a card like the Delta SkyMiles Platinum Amex Card or Delta SkyMiles Reserve Amex Card may make more sense. These cards have higher annual fees, but they also provide more benefits. For example, the Delta Reserve Amex Card offers Delta Sky Club Access (at least 15 visits each Medallion year), which could come in handy the more you find yourself in airports. Business owners can apply for the personal or business versions of the Delta SkyMiles credit cards. The business credit cards are largely the same as their personal variants, but their welcome offers require increased spending, so keep that in mind when making your decision. All the Delta SkyMiles credit cards associated with these new welcome offers have annual fees. If you want to avoid an annual fee at all costs, consider no-annual-fee credit Disclosure: The information in this article has not been reviewed or approved by any advertiser.

Trump-Musk feud: Are electric vehicles and Tesla at the heart of the breakup?
The President of the United States of America and one of the world's most influential billionaires are at odds after months of collaboration. The confrontation escalated Thursday with Elon Musk saying Trump would have lost the election without him in a post on X. President Donald Trump in turn referred to his former senior advisor as "the man who lost his mind" in a Friday morning ABC News phone interview. Republican Trump allies are now also speaking out against Musk. Musk's breakup with the administration has been public and is well-documented, with Trump and the Tesla CEO trading calculated jabs like pro boxers. The underlying reason behind the sudden intense feud is a serious cause of concern for some American car buyers. "Clean Coal" has been a popular buzzword for not one but two presidential campaigns for Donald Trump. So, Elon Musk's initial choice to stand beside a global warming skeptic as the CEO of a clean energy and automotive company was puzzling to say the least. At first, Musk's involvement with the administration was seen by many as mutually beneficial, since the CEO could potentially reap the benefits of government contracts for Tesla and SpaceX. The general public quickly soured to the idea of the eccentric CEO playing a key role in the administration. By April 8, Tesla stock had nosedived 41.50% from its January 2 share price. Tesla dealers have been attacked and vandalized while other Americans have staged peaceful protests against Musk's involvement in government and role at the Department of Government Efficiency. So, why would a guy who once wore a "Trump Was Right About Everything" hat suddenly publicly oppose his new bill? The short answer is, the two don't see eye to eye on the automotive industry's most controversial powertrain option. The One, Big, Beautiful Bill could decimate Tesla. President Donald Trump's stance and actions against EV adoption in America includes: Supporting the One, Big, Beautiful Bill, which suggests phasing out a federal EV tax credit that would benefit thousands of Tesla buyers Claiming former President Joe Biden's EV mandate "would kill 40% of the auto industry's jobs", according to Ordering the shut down of many federal electric vehicle chargers and pausing massive federal EV fleet purchases, according to Elon Musk (and Tesla's) stance and actions for EV adoption in America: Elon Musk bio says "Tesla's mission has been to accelerate the world's transition to sustainable energy" Musk claimed "the world does need electric cars" during a 60 Minutes interview and factory tour, asserting that Tesla has a crucial role in the future of EVs Tesla has collaborated with Ford, GM, Stellantis, Rivian, Volkswagen, Honda, Acura, Hyundai, Kia, Toyota and more to provide Tesla Supercharger access to EVs, making them easier to charge for American drivers Tesla stock recently plummeted in response to the feud between Trump and Musk. The President has also threatened Musk's government contracts amidst the dispute. The bill appears to be the focal point of the rift, but the two clearly have different ideas on what America's future should be. President Donald Trump and Elon Musk may have been able to join forces over their mutual stances on certain conservative points and a hatred of bureaucracy, but their White House tag team was short-lived. The One, Big, Beautiful Bill directly undermines some of the actions Musk and the Department of Government Efficiency have taken since the two united. Trump is 78 years old and expresses a desire to bring America back to a golden age of manufacturing before globalism outsourced American jobs and created a reliance on foreign trade. He also speaks about returning the country to an age where mining and drilling for fossil fuel production were prioritized over environmental concerns. Musk, on the other hand, is a 53-year-old futurist who strives to make humans a multi-planetary species and has made a fortune from innovation and technological disruption. At a glance, the issue seems to be about the One, Big, Beautiful Bill attacking Tesla's bottom line but the two polarizing figures are fundamentally different in terms of future aspirations. Based on Trump's falling out with several former members of the first Trump administration and Musk's known adversarial nature in the private sector, this could be the end for, arguably, the most fascinating duo of 2025.

Florida Condo Owners Given Unique Opportunity To ‘Swap' Their Unit for House Down Payment Amid State's ‘Condo Crisis'
Florida condo owners are battling a wave of housing issues, including rising HOA fees and skyrocketing insurance costs, with little to no relief from government officials. But Phil Thompson, owner of a luxury custom homebuilder and home-renovation company, is hoping to quell the concerns of millions of condo owners in the Sunshine State with an innovative housing solution. In a swap that seems too good to be true, Thompson is offering to take condos out of the hands of frustrated Floridians and use their value as a down payment for a home under his own company, Coral Reef General Contracting in Fort Pierce. 'As far as the rules of condos, we're entertaining every offer from sellers,' Thompson tells Despite a general shift toward single-family homes in Florida, real estate agents still have a vested interest in condos, which serve a clientele who prefer their convenience, lower maintenance, or specific lifestyles. The median list price of Florida homes in May was $439,999, and condo ownership has become less affordable, particularly for those on fixed incomes in Florida, and many are looking for a way out. In what Thompson claims is a first-of-its-kind 'condo-swap' in Florida, he says he's not worried if a condo appears battered, broken, or run down. With prior experience working with New York City's high-rises, he assures Florida owners that the sky's the limit when it comes to taking in a less-than-perfect condo. 'We'll take a look from the best to the worst conditions,' says Thompson. 'We're not adverse to taking condominiums that have structural problems. I'm not concerned with that because of my structural experience from Manhattan.' Thompson sympathizes with condo owners in Florida who are scrambling to sell their property and saw an opportunity to aid those looking to level up their housing situation. 'So we're not worried about any of these problems,' he adds. 'They're all fixable. Our main concern is to get our buyers here and take the burden off our buyers' backs and make it a nice, transparent, smooth transaction for them.' Coral Reef is offering housing options on South Hutchinson Island that range from $1,500,000 to $3,000,000—depending on the property's proximity to the coastline and other amenities. Thompson says the incentive to ditch an old condo has drummed up enough marketing by itself. Despite a small loss here and there, Thompson is satisfied with the program and its impact. 'On a case-by-case basis, I may lose a few dollars on the condo, but the fact is that we bring our buyer from a negative situation into a positive situation. And it's all about word of mouth—that's how you grow, and that's how you make it in this business,' he adds. In April, both chambers of the Florida Legislature voted unanimously to pass House Bill 913, addressing endless complaints over the rising fees for condominium owners, despite pushback from Gov. Ron DeSantis. Essentially, the bill would aid condominium associations in setting up credit lines and investing funds that would contribute to necessary building repairs instead of immediately looking to owners for the money. 'You had people that were going to be forced out of their condos potentially because of legislation that had come down the pipe,' DeSantis said during a May 20 appearance in Tampa, referencing recent safety laws, as reported by NBC Miami. Condo reform laws continue after a devastating collapse of the Champlain Towers South condo in Surfside in 2021, which killed 98 people. After the incident, there was a massive effort to improve safety conditions regarding condos over 30 years of age and three stories tall. The new safety laws called for 'milestone' inspections and sought to invest in reserve funds for repairs and maintenance. Lawmakers such as state Rep. Vicki Lopez (R-Miami) have backed the bill, claiming it balances the need for structural safety with financial flexibility, particularly in the context of the rising costs of repairs and insurance for Florida condos, as reported by the Florida Phoenix. 'This incredible bill addressing the condominium crisis we have all heard about for the last year gives a lot of financial relief,' Lopez says. The bill also introduces electronic voting, making it easier for condo owners to participate in decisions, which could be DeSantis' main point of objection. Despite some reservations, Florida lawmakers are confident that the governor will sign the bill, as he's spoken about the condo issue on several occasions in the past couple of months. 'We have this condo issue, that legislation that caused these crushing assessments,' DeSantis said during a press conference in Fruitland Park. 'We know people need relief from that. We've got to do it. The Senate's got a great product that can do it.' HB 913 has been sent to the governor's desk for his signature. Once signed, the bill goes into effect on July 1.
