I wondered how I could possibly get 25 partner activities for the 25k. Well, it links to the list after you register. Here it is. This is a very good opportunity to go above and beyond the 25k (or whatever tier you make it to) as (I think) all the partners are also going to offer miles for doing business with them. For example, 1.5k for signing up with Netflix. Let the game begin!
My security program flagged this page/link.... anyway to authenticate this link? Is it normal for Delta to ask for all this info to register? I thought you would just have to enter your login info.
I got an email from Delta also. I am always careful about clicking on links in emails because of receiving spoof emails in the poast so I checked the link in the email and it has a lot of strange characters and numbers (not the same link listed in the above post). I was afraid to click on it to register. Maybe I am being too careful. Did anyone else get that?

I've always had authentication stuff like this on promos from DL.
5,000 shouldn't be hard to earn at all. I've got a room at the Holiday Inn Express this month, and finding four other partners shouldn't be hard.

I have always had to enter first and last name, sm # and email. The email definitely came from Delta.

This is reminiscent of AA's 20/20 bonus 6 years ago, but that one didn't have partial credit. It was 20K for 20 partners; nothing for 19 partners.
And AA FT'ers found some pretty creative and cheap ways to get those partner credits. 1 mile for a $1 donation to some pro-Irish charity called the Erin-Go-Bragh foundation. 3 miles for a $3 spool of fishing thread from Orvis.
I'm looking forward to see what the DL board comes up with.

The information asked is typical of a Delta promotion. I've heard complaints/concerns for years that both Delta and AMEX promotions get flagged by security filters.
Below is an email that I recently received from Delta:

The SkyMiles Clothing Care program is simple and it's FREE! The miles add up faster than ever with all of your dry cleaning purchases at participating merchants.

That's 1,000 miles earned for just picking up your dry cleaning!
Simply fill out the secure online enrollment form, register the credit or debit card(s) with which you prefer to pay for your dry cleaning, find a participating dry cleaner in your area, and you're set.
Each and every time you make a dry cleaning purchase, your participating dry cleaner will reward you with one mile for every dollar you spend with your registered credit or debit card. The miles you earn in the SkyMiles Clothing Care program are automatically added to your SkyMiles account, so nothing could be easier. **

OK I'm a little confused. I signed up and ran through the list of partners. It implies that Hilton, Hampton, Hilton Garden, Conrad, etc are separate partners. Will it be that easy?

Note that only one mileage-earning hotel partner stay/activity with a partner hotel family will count regardless of the number of different hotel stays within the family. For example, multiple stays at different Hilton brands (e.g., Doubletree, Embassy Suites and Hilton Hotels) will count as only one eligible activity; however, normal bonus miles may still be earned as a result of such multiple activities. One stay/activity at different hotel families, e.g., Hilton, Marriott, InterContinental, etc. will each count as an eligible activity for the threshold bonus promotion.
