DL introduces "Me Too" promotion with 25-50k bonus for travel to UK; oddly worded
Delta has announced a promotion for travel to the UK as have several other airlines.
50k for paid J
25k for Y/B/M.
Oddly, the promotion calls the Y/B/M fares "Premium Economy." It is strange wording, because "premium" refers only to the fare, and not to the class of service.
I say it is odd since others airlines offer a "premium economy" class of service.

Thanks for the heads up...now the perennial question - do tickets purchased before April 6, but for travel in the promo period, count? There is just one sentence up front about Purchase and Fly between...but the fine print doesn't mention anything about the purchase period...

Extra 50K EDI, LHR, LGW, MAN
Is this like the MQM promo where I could not change an M fare to I because it would have the date of the original ticket?

I believe that Air France has just started rolling out Premium Economy. This promotion actually works on Air France and KLM as well, so I think that is the rub - its to get people using those airlines as well. Perhaps they are a little miffed at NW and DL hanging out together so much, or how the x3MQM bonus is hurting their codeshares?
