By the way thanks to Dean on a flight from Flint a few weeks ago...I've been lurking the last few weeks and finally decided to post for the first time
Welcome to FT.
Not sure where the link is to transfer between accounts but I didn't look too hard. (edit): found it - Worldperks, Manage My Account, Link Accounts
Several reasons avail yourself of this:
1) I have some miles in DL (mostly from AmEx) and some in NW (mostly from flying). NW has award availability for a ticket I want to get for a relative but DL doesn't. Can transfer enough miles from DL to NW to have enough miles.
2) NW apparently still does not charge a partner award ticket fee. DL does. Booked a ticket yesterday for another relative on nwa.com using CO for one flight. No $25 partner fee.
DL did recently have a promotion whereby if one skymiles member referred another, there was a bonus (2000 miles?). I am sure you can find the info on delta.com if it is still a promotion.
