I agree. I don't see NW/DL offering a larger bonus than 500 miles to link the two accounts. And the transfers can be freely made. The only downside is that the link is irreversible. Here's the full T&Cs:
Link Accounts and Transfer Miles:
Terms and Conditions


* The linking of a Northwest WorldPerks account and a Delta SkyMiles account is a non-reversible transaction once confirmed by the user and can only be done between accounts that are owned by the same person. First and last names must match on the accounts and the user must submit WorldPerks and SkyMiles account numbers and PINs
* The transfer of miles can only occur between a linked WorldPerks and SkyMiles account. Transfers are unlimited and can occur in either direction between linked accounts. The miles selected for transfer cannot exceed the available miles for the account in which the miles will be withdrawn.
* No fees apply for linking accounts or transferring miles between linked accounts.
* Any attempt to fraudulently link accounts or transfer miles between fraudulently linked accounts is prohibited and any such transaction will be reversed and may result in account termination.
* The transfer of miles to a SkyMiles account will not reset or extend the mileage expiration date.
* The transfer of miles to a WorldPerks account will reset and extend the mileage expiration date.
* An email address is required to complete this transaction. An email address can be added or updated within the application and will update the SkyMiles account and WorldPerks account.
* An email confirmation will be sent to the email address on file in your SkyMiles account
* By adding an email address, you are agreeing to receive administrative and promotional emails for both your SkyMiles account and your WorldPerks account.
* The sale, barter, gift or assignment of WorldPerks or SkyMiles miles, mileage awards, or other benefits, other than by Northwest or Delta, is expressly prohibited.
* Any miles transferred through this agreement may not be conveyed to persons engaged in the sale, direct or indirect, of flight miles or arranging for the sale of such miles. Any improper usage of WorldPerks miles or SkyMiles miles pursuant to this Agreement and Account Link and Mileage Transfer Program, or any other misuse of miles, shall be grounds for immediate confiscation and forfeit of such miles, and may be grounds for the forfeiture of all miles in the Member's account and the Member's ejection from the WorldPerks and SkyMiles Programs.
* Transferred miles do not count as Elite Qualifying Miles or Medallion Qualification Miles.
* The transfer of miles does not guarantee availability of an award seat on any given flight. Award travel is capacity controlled. Travel to prime destinations during peak periods may require more miles to secure seats.
* The Member shall comply with all federal, state and local laws, rules and regulations with respect to this Agreement and the purchase of miles under the Account Link and Mileage Transfer Program.
* By submitting the request to link and transfer miles, the Member acknowledges and signifies his or her agreement with the Terms and Conditions stated.
* This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between Member and Northwest and Delta with respect to the subject matter hereof and supercedes all prior or contemporaneous agreements or understandings, if any, whether written or oral, relating to such subject matter.
* All WorldPerks program and SkyMiles program rules apply. To review the rules for each program, please visit nwa.com/worldperks/program/memguide or delta.com/memberguide.
Just did a transfer and it was an instantaneous posting into my NW account.
