The link takes 2 minutes to show up to your Amex account. I gave my sis as an example but I also have my son's SM linked to my account and he is a minor without an Amex. I have been transferring miles to his SM account for the last 3? years and I did another transfer a couple of weks ago.

Seems like a good deal for SkyPesos...
I cherished the time when NWA was still alive. Transfered Skymiles into WorldPerks, ATL-SGN (Southeast Asia) RT was around 50-60K on Korean Air via NWA. Roughly 20-Hr flight time total vs. 150K Skymiles ATL-SGN (33-HR plus flight time, with unnecessary layover in Europe).
Currently 2 personal and 3 biz accounts with Am3x, otherwise might app for Platinum for the promo!
The "best" I've seen is 25K MR points for upgrade? Can one upgrade from Gold Card Biz to Platinum and still qualify for the same promo?

75k miles/25kMQM instant x-fer
It appears as if this thread has ventured a little off topic, but anyway the back to the Original Topic, I registered yesterday for the 50% Bonus and 25K MQM's, transferred the points last night, and the miles, the bonus miles, and the MQM's all posted to my Skymiles account this morning.... Just an FYI. Thanks Delta I missed last years, but this will make me a lock of PM this year!

Now if I only had 50K AMEX MR points....sadly my employer just switch over to AMEX late last year. Not sure I'll get to 50K by May 31....might have to consider a personal one as well.

I just tried to enroll my husband's SM account for this promotion on the Delta link (I did last year's promo on my SM account), and got this message:
You do not meet the eligibility criteria listed below and may not register for this promotion.
We encourage you to check out our other great offers on our Promotion Highlights page.
We each have AmEx Plat cards and AmEx Premier Award cards (gold), and both cards are tied into my Membership Rewards account, where both of our DL SM accounts are already linked. I've never done a MR transfer into his DL account.
It looks like my participation in the prior promotion is preventing his participation in this one! Are those of you who are "gifting silver" to a spouse going through the same Membership Rewards account as you used for the prior promotion on your own SM account?
Just checked hubby's SM account -- I already enrolled him in the 30% promo for Membership Rewards -- http://www.delta.com/pet/mrgetaway/pet/main -- could this be causing a conflict?

yea, not denying that it is worth it but i am greedy. I don't use entrance to skyclubs, i still have 2 passes from last year. Companion ticket i would never use, i still have mine from last year as well. I don't pay for checked bags, and have a ton of drink coupons for delta, so i wouldn't use the $200 in airline fee's a year either.

DO NOTE the miles are HIGHER if you DO NOT have status!

with this promotion on DL, I would value at the amex gift card conversion rate with the 50% bonus 50k MR = 75k SM= $682 in amex gift card . You can get a better perceived value if use are able to use miles for intl BE travel.
MQMs are a big driver with this promotion

No Conflict But
Just checked hubby's SM account -- I already enrolled him in the 30% promo for Membership Rewards -- http://www.delta.com/pet/mrgetaway/pet/main -- could this be causing a conflict?
as I asked before I wonder if I should try to delete (if I can)
the 30% promo so it doesn't screw up the 50% promo or
just wait til it expires 3-31-11 before the transfer as the new
offer is good til 5-31-11

Is this requirement for $100k income listed somewhere? I meet the FICO requirement but not that level of income. Is the deal a bust for me then or are there any other options? Thanks.
