30% Skymiles Bonus

Schutzee · Oct 22, 08, 8:46 pm

I was surprised I didn't see this posted yet: Get a 30% mileage bonus on Membership Rewards points transferred between October 20 and December 31, 2008. For complete details, see terms & conditions.

http://www.delta.com/skymiles/ways_t...onus/index.jsp

When I click the "register" link I get an error message "We're sorry, this campaign is currently not active"

Guess I'll have to call Skymiles.

I had the same problem. Were you able to register with Delta over the phone?

Thanks.

I wonder if I register for the 20% bonus and then am later able to register for the 30% bonus if I will receive both. The 20% bonus is good through 10/31. It says it will post 6 to 8 weeks after. The 30% bonus says it will post 1 week after Delta receives the point transfer. Maybe two separate bonus postings?

I registered for both. I am going to transfer during the 30% bonus time and see what happens.

Flyertalker's know that DL is now ranked as the worst US based airline for redeeming miles (higher miles requirements, highest fees, messed up award calendar).

I have 60,000 AX MR points. I have DL and CO frequent flyer accounts (AX partners). CO is hooking up with United in the future. Should I wait and transfer my points to CO at a later date (even without the bonus)?

Please give me your two cents.

Both DL and CO transfers are instant. I always hold the points in AMEX and transfer to DL or CO as needed.

This is absolutely the best advice that can be given. Don't move the miles until you are ready to book. As of right now, CO and DL should generally see the exact same reward revenue across their partners. With fees and surcharges, one might pay $50 or more extra for the privilege of booking with SkyMiles. That can make the 30% bonus for the transfer basically just enough to cover the extra costs for the ticket.

How were you able to register for the 30%? The link to register still tells me the campaign is "currently not active." And Delta's customer service sent me a bad link to register at www.delta.com/30bonusemail

I want to book an award ticket but don't want to miss out on the bonus. Very frustrating!

This link worked for me when i signed up. I click on the link now and it still works. I tried the it with both Firefox and IE and both worked.

Link worked fine for me.

Transferred points from AMEX into Delta today only to see the 30% bonus points post less than an hour later. Not complaining, but didn't expect it to be THAT quick

Does this only apply for US Amex accounts..I live in Sweden and I have Plat Amex..I did transfer 90000 points from AMEX but only 9000 went into SkyMiles..Sooo im assuming only US Amex accounts counts..Any suggestions ?

Thanks

OP thanks for post. Requested transfer from my Amex Plat today 11/4/08 and miles posted with 5 min. Still waiting on the 30% bonus miles 1 hour later however. Cheers
