Crap. I hate the thought of driving to BNA for my personal trips, but this may be too good a deal to pass up.
Wonder why they picked PIT and BNA. I tried a few other airport codes, nada. It's not aimed at AirTran, or HSV would be included since AirTran just started service here in June.

Course it says "eligible" members, so I probably ain't eligible anyway.

Now someone just needs to figure outthe cheapest way to string these all together.
A routing like:
rdu-atl-dtw-stl-slc-atl-bna-msp-atl-pit-atl-dtw-bna-msp-atl-stl-atl-msp-rdu, booked with 3 separate tickets would do quite well if the fares were right.

Wow. This is an exceptionally generous promo. Double MQMs for >50% of the year, and enormous RDM bonuses for the same amount of time. Note that these are all WN cities. I assume you can find some pretty cheap LUT flights to non-DL hubs and pick up an easy 10k every single time.
I'm going to paste a copy of the T&Cs as of today just below, as they sometimes have a way of changing over time. Note that the "refer Delta customer service representative to" # is same for all cities.
Needless to say, this would definitely drive my behavior if my originating cities (generally NYC and BOS) were included... DL would get paid int'l J tix from me that otherwise are up for grabs.

Not sure if it'd help since I fly MEM-DCA every other week (not DCA-MEM). Still I suppose I could do a one way, then spend a few weeks routing DCA-MEM.

If you find a DC area airport that will work for this. Simply book a one way on the start and at the end of promotion and then do all RTs as inbound then outbound outta MEM instead of outbound and then inbound. Bonuses start piling up!
