Why you think the booking class would make a difference?

This is interesting, but would like to know, and your blog did not reveal, the rationale behind that - why coach PWM won't earn RDMs.

I've use PWM for coach 10-15 times, and I've always received full MQMs. I made a 250 miles coach (W) redemption on a May 26 flight, so will be some months before I see if the MQMs post as expected.
Edit: Oops I see the posts I was responding to were about RDM not posting, not MQM. I don't think I've ever received RDM using PWM, but that's as expected per DL.com saying I'd get 0 RDM before making the purchase.

RDMs are now based on the cash paid for the flight.

For a member without delta status, what will happen if she cancels a reservation with 3 tickets booked through this glitch? I understand delta will return the credit but charge the cancellation fee? Do I need to pay the fee separately or the fee will be deducted from the credit? Will the credit belong to 3 persons because of the 3 tickets, or the person booking the reservation can use the credit for whatever delta credit she wants?

i am a newbie and I have one such reservation that I cannot use, so just want to understand how it would work and see if I can get any value out of it in this situation. Thanks.

I know...but OP claims she may earn RDM from first class PWM tickets, which in this case, also has zero cash paid. That was my question...

There was only one way to pay for this type of ticket, read the title/first post.

4 flown in first, G class. I still get MQMs only, regardless of class since no $ were spent, only 250 sky rubles.

Interesting (and disappointing) and a change from the past. Are you part of Crossover Rewards? What about SkyBonus?

I suspect they're deducting the taxes (at 1 cent/mile) and awarding MQDs on the $0 remaining.

Surprisingly, my SPG crossover points were posted from both these tickets I traveled.
