What difference does it make? Pretty soon DL-NW miles will largely be worthless anyway.

On 1-8-09, I got the 1000 miles for having to sit coach as a Plat.

I was upgraded to 1st, that flight was cancelled, rebooked in coach, got the 1000 miles.

NW ticket, NW metal.

Please keep this. With all the crappy new "enhancements" I doubt I will make PE next year.

500 miles or 1000 miles or even zero miles, I agree it doesn't make much of a difference if interested in award travel.

With DL in charge, more miles might even be a liability to some customers since some DL miles tickets actually could cost more in DL fees than even a regular paid ticket not using DL miles.

Just got this the other day on a long haul (sigh, when there was actually hot foot).

Any idea if this possibly could be added to the DL program when merging is complete? I also fear the PE companion UG program from NW is being fleeced to the DL program.

Unhappy Promo is dead, right?!
Am looking like I won't get the upgrade on my upcoming flight. Probably also likely that I won't get the 1000 miles, right?! I haven't seen anyone post anything positive on this recently so I'm assuming the promo is dead.

Sigh....

I just noticed that I was credited 1k MQM for LAX-MEM and another 1k MQM for MEM-TYS.

Platinum bonus
I just flew DTW to MBS on a crj with no first class - they gave me my 1000 miles for both flights and that was just 3 weeks ago.

jeah, but we need data for flights AFTER 10/1.
My guess is once you start using your DL # the beni is gone

Still inconclusive
Flew SEA DTW 10/9 and missed upgrade but no miles posted at either delta.com nor nwa.com. My connecting flight (EUAd) DTW FLL on 10/10 already posted at delta.com. I wonder what's holding up my miles.....
