For travel on/after 01MAR2009, Y/B/M will earn the actual miles flown, subject to the 500 mile minimum.
This is truly truly astonishing!

Welcome to BIZARRO WORLD frequent flyer program!!

In BIZARRO WORLD, when you read this encouraging word from DL CEO to NW flyers in the January inflight magazine:

We are listening to feedback from customers in both programs so we can create a "best of" plan that distinguishes us from the rest of the industry.

it is very easy to translate to the actual BIZARRO meaning:

We may be listening to your feedback, but we are implementing, in most cases, the exact opposite of your desires, so that we can create a "WORST OF" plan that - truthfully - WILL distinguish us from the rest of the industry.
