Happen to have a link/offer code?

That is most definitely a nice benefit and even the possibility of it is well worth giving them my Euro address. It is especially nice because I was considering FB, because of the ST Elite + at Gold, but since the whole purpose of switching from CO is to get full EQMs/MQMs for NW V fares, DL was looking like a better alternative.

Thanks for the feedback.
