Did you have a BF of $1? and 'tricked' YQ?

Many are going to explode when they start seeing these sorts of RDMs being rewarded.

I would not be calling Delta to complain.
By posting here ... another hole gets filled?

See how valuable DM is? A PM would've gotten about 20% less!!!

I'm sure if this was an error due to IRROPs, you could call and Delta would give you the correct mileage.

Or, you just paid $1 to go from San Francisco to Paris.....in which case you probably have no right to complain about miles earned.

Gee, I wonder why OP never gives details on the fares he is purchasing? Given that he is regular in the "Trick It..." thread, you can bet this is some kind of fuel dump fare.

If you were able to purchase a ticket for this price, you should be very happy, with or without miles. Did it earn MQMs?

I wish it was a dollar fare! I paid about 600 Euro for the return trip starting in Oslo.. As for the ticket SFO-PIT, I paid about $200... Most likely these are errors.. It sucks that we must police our accounts. I was on hold for an hour last night, and hung up.. As for the poster regarding trick it fares. I haven't been lucky enough to take advantage.. Most my travel is fairly last minute..

Details? If most of the fare was allocated to OSL-CDG, after taxes (possibly including the French luxury tax), it might be the case that nor much fare was allocated to the CDG-USA portion. Your fare of 600 Euro all in is still awfully good.

I think I would wait until after the east coast storm is over before calling back.
