Thank you NJUPINTHEAIR, for posting the one day 5000 bonus code, I also got the 3 day one with my fastbreak so it has the chance to be 11,000 bonus miles with only 4 days of rental, it is worth a shot

You do not need to buy anything from points.com
if you never had an account, join and they will give you 10 free delta miles, *which shoudl equal your activity so nothing else is required*
if you have had an account, go to hotspex.com, register with the smae email address as your points.com and fill out some surveys *very quick and easy ones* and then intiate a swap of hotspex points to your delta account for a free activity.

You would be well advised to go to the Delta website, click on the promotion, and read the terms & conditions carefully. Then, if you don't have a good understanding of the promo, read through a signficant portion of this thread. (You probably don't need to read all of the posts since the same topics come up again, and again, and again. . .)

You are not going to earn 1,000 bonus miles for any one partner activity. You need to meet minimum thresholds of 3, 6, 12, etc. before you get the next increment of bonus miles. If you only have 2 partner activities, you get no bonus. If you only have 5 partner activities, you only get the bonus earned for having 3 partners, etc.

Yes this is what I meant. And, Yes, I can confirm this as the point from my co-workers' SPG has already posted as 1 SkyMiles Pt on my wife's account.

Thanks,

From SkyMilesShopping.com I consistently received an error message when it opened iTunes, something along the lines of "The item is not currently available in the US store." I emailed and they said to click the OK button and shop as usual. I did, and two weeks later my miles posted. So it should work, even if it doesn't open correctly.

This could be a good deal????

How about buying $25.00 Budget Rent a Car "gift card" from giftcertificates.com? This will count as one partner activity.

Then use this gift card to rent a Budget car and get extra 5K Delta miles as per the new promo. I actually found a car at Philadelphia airport for $17.00 and change.

Also, if someone can help me get to 9 partner activity. This is what I have done so far:

1. e-rewards
2. i-dine
3. points.com
4. Hilton transfer
5. Ameriprise Auto
6. Delta Shopping (used giftcertificates.com)

Can someone help me do 9 partners? Now since I have transferred my Hilton points to my Delta already, will staying now at Hilton (using award redemption) give me extra partner activity? My Hilton is tied with Delta (Double Dip).

Can I still buy something from Lather.com and count that as extra partner?

Any help.

Just a quick question. I am signing up for e-rewards and would like to know if you leaved the box checked or unchecked?

"Uncheck this box if you do not wish your Program Sponsor to receive your registration information "

Am I right that I need to leave it checked to get credit for this bonus?

Please note, 9 partner activities won't get you anything more than you've already got. It goes from 6 at 6K to 12 at 12K.

Thanks. All I had to do was fill out a silly personal survey and I then xferred 10 hotspex points to 2 skymiles via points.com for a unique activity.

It looks like it is still there:
https://www.delta.com/marketing/part...008/?soac=dcom

The link on page 1 of the thread wasn't correct for very long...page 2 had a correction that is still good.

Cheers~

thanks - could get to page 2 for some reason; but could never bring up the sign up page! now - to try to cram in all these activities in less than 3 weeks - 2 of which I will be on vacation! (nothing like getting a late start!)

Do not do lather you did ameriprise, it wouldn't count


For 6 more here are a few
1) clothing care (500 point bonus)
get one shirt laundered (less than 3.00)

http://www.skymilesclothingcare.com/bonus.aspx

2) 1-800-flowers 25miles per 1$ cheapest are 16.00 celebrations book or 20.00 popcorn factory cookies

3 netflix *bonus 2,500*

4) buy miles from delta (check email to see if you have the get 50% more bonu) *I think 1,000 = around 30.00

5)AMEX (if you are approved it is 20,000 bonus)

6)e-miles

or you can buy from ftd, or any of the other car rental companies

Thanks. It worked a lot better when I used IE instead of Firefox.
