Earn up to 8500 miles with partner hotels

I got the email just a few minutes ago:

Earning miles toward Award Travel is easy when you fly Delta or participate with any of Delta's 100+ SkyMiles® partners. And now through November 30, 2008, wherever your travels take you, you can earn up to 8,500 miles with qualified stays at any SkyMiles hotel partner worldwide. And in the morning, you will be that much closer to your next Award Travel.

Here's how it works:

* Stay at any SkyMiles partner hotel between 9/1/08 and 11/30/08
* Earn 1,000 bonus miles for your first qualifying stay*
* Earn 2,500 bonus miles for your second qualifying stay
* Earn 5,000 bonus miles for your third qualifying stay

You can earn up to 8,500 bonus miles.

Click here for a full list of SkyMiles hotels at your destination.

I was just reading over this email offer as well...

My only question is; how do we register so that it's automatically credited, or is that done on the hotel's end?

I am going to assume that we need to have the option of earn miles selected at each of these programs. Correct?
And if so, can I use the double dip option of points AND miles at the Hilton branded properties?

And if I choose miles for Marriott, will I miss out on the megabonus promotion starting 9/15?

I have stays already booked for that time period. I wonder if they will earn the bonus miles.

I did not get this email, seems targeted as there is no mention of it on DL's website. Or am I missing the link?

Yes you would miss out on the Marriott Megabonus opportunity starting on 9/15 if you had your marriott account set to earn Delta miles & not points. A qualifying stay for the Marriott Megabonus is a stay after 9/15, with earnings going toward Marriott points (& obviously paid with your visa...)

Anyone find an answer to the Hilton Double Dip Question yet?

T&C's - seems to be targeted

I got the email, I'm an FO and have only credited stays to Delta during the Hilton MQM promo earlier this year.

There is no bonus going on right now (9/1-9/15) so it would make sense to use this opportunity to get the 8500 while not missing out on the Fall Megabonus.

The T&C seem clear to me on Hilton Double Dip - they are eligible stays.

An excellent suggestion. Just changed a three day stay at a Marriott to 3 stays at various Marriott properties. Changed my earning choice to my DL account. 8500 miles by September 10th!
Thanks.

Sorry if I missed something in a post above, but have we come to a determination yet as to whether this is targeted, or available to all SM members?
