crediting miles to a different airline
I'm new to this so please forgive the newbie question...
I found a boarding pass from a flight in January on Northwest. I was ignorant to the ways of the FF world back then
and didn't have a FF program.
I have emailed NW and it seems I have up to 9 months after a flight to submit my boarding pass.
Here is my question - since I don't fly NW often, should I / how do I have these miles credited to a different airline? I am doing a Delta/car rental promo and will have 30k miles on Delta before long.
Thanks for any help/advice.

If you are not collecting miles on NW otherwise then putting that flight into your DL account is a much better plan. There should be a process on the DL site for claiming missing miles for partner activity. It will likely involve filling out a form and mailing the form and the BP into their service center.

I'd write Delta to check. I know that with Czech Airlines, you can submit already-completed Czech Airlines tickets for credit on a OK Plus (CSA's FF plan) for up to six months after flying but you can't do that with other partner airlines. So in other words NW might be willing to accept them on a NW card but whether Delta will accept already-flown segments is worth asking.
