I've been with Delta/Northwest for years (Diamond level) and was really excited to see a debit card but like so many others have noted I live in Michigan so unable to get this. Why would Delta exclude so many customers from this offering and believe it's good for their business? I echo the others and ask they explore providing a service available to all.

Is there any check cards with skymiles for Missouri? I agree, nice idea, but useless for me since I live in Missouri. Is there any check cards with skymiles for Missouri?

I was so please when Delta launched this card with Suntrust! My only complaint is that Continental Airlines offers their co-branded debit card with Chase Bank and if you have this debit card you don't have to pay to check your first bag, would've been a great incentive. I would love to seem them offer this. Just got my card in the mail today! I was so please when Delta launched this card with Suntrust!

Those of us who live on the West Coast, the Mid-west, the South central/west have no easy access to a SkyMiles Debit card in our regions. I've had the US Bank NW WorldPerks Visa Gold Debit through U.S. Bank since it came out and I'm crushed to hear that its going to be replaced with some generic travel rewards debit card. I saw the whole "Don't fret if you live in other regions line" but to many, in this time of transition, it would be really comforting to know where WE will have the option to earn SkyMiles. Please launch another option ASAP for the rest of us! I already have the SkyMiles Amex and it'd be really nice to have a SkyMiles Visa Debit card to pull out of my wallet when I frequently end up at places that don't or won't accept AMEX.

We have been able to sign up a lot of our current customers and people have been asking to open new accounts just to order the card. I already have mine too! One thing to note, like ibogost mentioned, you only earn miles on signature-based transactions, not PIN-based transactions. When asked "Debit or Credit?" always chose credit. Miles rack up very quickly. I’m a SunTrust employee and our new co-branded check card has generated a lot of buzz.
