How do you get monthly miles from NetFlix? I got my enrollment bonus of 1500 some time back but I have never seen another mile from NetFlix.
I am thrilled that this is back for 2008. Too bad Coke ran out of Delta awards, so even if it was an option we would not get it. Remember that you can go the 1-800 Flowers route with the $25 Coke award, and if you only order the Celebrations book, it is the cheapest thing on the site.

I am glad I saved my Delta redemption code from the MyCokeRewards program. But I don't see a mention of MCR in the partners. Or does it fall under SkyRewards?

MCR post as "Skymiles incentives" so not sure how it's counted.

Skymiles incentives postings do have a secondary line indicating the partner where the inventive miles were coming from. This secondary line is only visible to Delta agents, not on the statement the Skymiles member can see.
Hence, if the partner is not listed, do not expect this to count as a qualifying activity for the bonus.

Ok, but not sure how Delta considers this. A poster above mentioned having difficulty convincing Delta it was unique (not sure of the outcome and it's not in the TCs)

Sorry, I wasn't articulate enough, you don't get miles each month from Netflix, but in that case you're still enrolled in the program so I'm wondering if that counts.
Scanna does give miles every month, so I still have that question.

How many have you gotten so far?
Okay we are in the 3rd day of the qualification period. Curious: who has the most in the shortest time period? Let's just say that the partner miles would not have to have posted already at DL (mainly because it means I have A LOT)
1/15 Used DL Amex for skymilesclothingcare.com dry cleaning (2)
1/15 SkyMiles RN dine (1)
1/15 Checked out of HHonors hotel (1)
1/15 Purchase made through skymilesshopping.com (1)
1/16 Checked out of Choice hotel (1)
1/16 1800Flowers for birthday (1) (one of twin girls)
1/16 FTD.com for birthday (1) (second of twin girls)
1/16 Converted Marriott points to SkyMiles (1)
1/17 Converted Starwood points to SkyMiles (1)
1/17 (today) Checking out of Triprewards hotel (1)
Eleven total in less than 72 hours
Coming up soon:
1/18 (tomorrow) Check out of Priority Club hotel (1)
1/20 return Alamo car rental (1)
1/21 Check out of Carlson hotel (1)
1/22 Check out of Hyatt hotel (1)
I am looking at 13 in the first 6 days and 15 by the end of next week. Easy 12K miles and well on my way to 20K. I am happy that Valentine's Day falls within this period. I have Teleflora as a shoo-in for mid Feburary. I have never done a mattress run before and, to be honest, never thought I would. I don't plan on making it a habit but for a promotion like this it was worth the added effort of packing-up my stuff 4 times.

If there is no activity posting to your Delta account from a partner during the promotion period, I don't think you should get your hopes up that it will count.
I have a question about Scana and receiving skymiles for natural gas. We have SCE&G in South Carolina which is a division of Scana Corp. For those of you that have signed up for the Scana deal, do you all get your monthly energy bill from Scana or from local electric companies. I called SCE&G and they said that they didn't know anything about this and it appeared to only be SCANA of Georgia but certainly this can't be true if it is on the Delta site. Please post some information. I spend a good bit on the natural gas portion of my bill each month and I feel that somehow this should work since SCE&G is a division of SCANA corp. Thanks for any help.
To review: E-miles is a listed partner for this program. E-miles only posts activity quarterly (i.e. January 1, April 1, etc.) meaning it falls outside the January 15 - March 15 timeframe.
In other words, a scam.
So, I emailed Delta:

HOWEVER, e-miles.com only records activity quarterly (i.e. January 1, April 1, July 1, October 1). See their FAQ at http://www.e-miles.com/memberServices.do (Q. How do I deposit my e-Miles miles? e-Miles miles will be deposited into your preferred frequent flyer account in 500 mile increments once a quarter. You do not need to request these mileage deposits; they are
automatic.)
As you can see, this makes it appear impossible to obtain a partner activity from a listed partner.
Please advise as to how I can get a partner activity credit for
e-miles.com use. Thanks.
Delta responds within an hour:

Did this answer the question? Of course not. Is this "transparency" we've been promised by Jeff? Of course not. So, I try again (this time, cc to info@e-miles.com).

Among those "partners" listed is e-miles. E-Miles however states that they only record activity quarterly (i.e. January 1, April 1, July 1, October 1). See their FAQ at http://www.e-miles.com/memberServices.do
I want a straight answer, please. How is it that DELTA's (NOT E-Miles) marketing promotion claims I can get a "unique partner activity" during a time frame that the partner is claiming is impossible.
Again, a straight answer. Either admit that this is a fraud and that it is impossible to get this unique partner activity (in which case you better darn well forward this e-mail to your general counsel's office) or a description of exactly and precisely HOW I would go about getting a "unique partner activity" for e-miles between January 15 and March 15, 2008.
An adequate response before close of business today (January 17, 2008) is required.
Respectfully,
cynicalflyer
I anticipate absolutely zero chance of actually getting a straight answer. Does anyone recall how this scam worked last year?

I don't know much about this partner, but is it possible that the sign-up bonus miles may post during the promo period? Or are these also tied up until the 4 dates you gave?

Q. Why haven't my miles been credited to my frequent flyer account?
The miles you earn with e-Miles are deposited in your preferred frequent flyer account once per quarter; January, April, July, and October. Each Sponsor airline requests you allow 6-8 weeks after e-Miles quarterly deposit submission for miles to post to your frequent flyer account. If they haven't been credited by that time, please contact your frequent flyer program's customer service number, or e-mail e-Miles Member Services at info@e-Miles.com.
Regardless of whether the miles come from the sign up bonus or the use of offers through e-miles, the activity is NOT going to post until April 1, beyond the March 15 deadline for this Partner Bonus offer.
This is a scam.

I am not sure I want to be spammed for miles, but how do you sign up and get the bonus sign-up miles? Is there a special link?
