Do you earn miles if booked on Expedia?
A trip next week to Austin is quite a bit less expensive if booked on expedia vs. delta.com. I plan to book it but I've never used a third party site before. Will I still earn my delta miles?

When you are entering your personal info, there should be a box for FF#, make sure you look for it. The program will not alert you if you miss it.
I have also added FF# later online and also at the gate. Smooth flying - enjoy the view!!

YES two different ways of doint it. One when you enter your personal info with exp or any other travel agency just supply them with you. SM FF number or ask for credit from Dl direct after your flight is conpleted by supplying them with the tix number and your SM number be email.

Oh I think the Best Fare Guarantee is still offered, however, there have been no reports to my knowledge of DL ever paying up. So, if Expedia or Orbitz are cheaper, book there, but don't waste your time complaining to DL customer service about it being less than DL.com.

The fact that DL shows you the wrong fare basis doesn't qualify!
