First class MQM bonus for mileage run
I was looking around and from what I understand buying a first class ticket gives me 1.5 MQMs for the miles flown. So SAN-ATL is usually 3,782 miles, with the first class bonus it should be 5,673. Is this correct? If so this would help me get to medallion status this year and would be worth it.

Do you know how many people are getting the bonus miles for going to the promo cities? The T&Cs say you don't get miles for going to those cities, but I know some people have been getting the bonus anyway.

I think you're referring to the T&C restriction on HUB cities, and not on the promo cities? I fly SAN-RDU regularly and have been getting DMQM.

T&C state it must be a round trip originating from one of the 4 big bonuses cities. Others have posted that they received bonuses without meeting the T&C. I would imagine delta has the rights to review accounts and deduct miles. I don't think they would do that unless they have reason to, but do as you please.

Lucky! As far as the understanding has been in the thread about this promo, it seems that trips going to the promo cities shouldn't get the DMQM and bonus RDM. Guess I'll have to see how lucky I get with a one-way from OKC to STL this weekend (prepping for two pseudo MRs!)

But unfortunately, no.
