Sometimes I have to wonder what people are thinking. Delta provides a bonus to encourage people to book on their site, since that is cheaper than using their inhouse reservation agents, cheaper than using travel agents, etc. So, if you go to another company (Orbitz), why do people think they would pay the bonus to the flyer of 1000 miles, which comes to about $20 these days?
Duh!
