Went to the Delta website and signed up for the 30 % bonus for
points transferred from Amex...signed up ,site told me I was registered
Did it a second time to make sure. Transferred 90k points to Delta in June
Waited 6-8 weeks as instructed..no bonus..called Amex, got sent to Delta(India)
sent back to Amex..Amex sent me back to Delta,went to India, Got transferred to promotions What promotion, what code ?? No such animal....I
must have imagined it...yea.
After about 2 hours:Told to wait until September 15, if bonus does not post,
start all over again. I ask if the bonus will post? Can not tell me.
It might if I signed up..but they have no record that I did.
It might If there was such a promotion,... but they are not sure if there was one.
It might if I was targeted,... but they don't think I was

Has anyone has made better progress than I on how to get
the bonus that was promised. I hate to get scammed as I would not
have transferred the point at that time without the bonus.

I am also signed up for the same bonus. I was also transferred to DL India. They checked up on the promotion and verified that I am signed up for it. I am also waiting for the 30% bonus. My guess is DL will transfer it on 9/15 midnight!

I will use this thread to report the posting of the miles.

It's a targeted promo, but Dell will allow you to sign up regardless. Problem is that if you have not bee nselected for this promo, it won't stick. I registered for a 30%, and transferred 100K points, only to be told I was SOL. After i threatened to leave, the story changed...

I also signed up for the 30% bonus promotion, and they posted 15% bonus in my account today (09/09) instead of 30%!! Was it just me? Not sure if I should wait one more week to complain?

if you got your points, why complain? If you didn't, you know that the script the reps will follow is "Wait till 9/15, then call us back." If you don't want to wait on hold to try this out, send them an email from the secure message center.

And the answer is:
Thank you for your e-mail to Delta Air Lines.
Our records show that bonus miles are credited to SkyMiles accounts 8
weeks after the promotion ends. Since the promotion ended July 15
please allow until September 15 for the miles to appear into your account.
Again, thank you for writing. We appreciate your interest in Delta Air
Lines.
