Personally, I'd rather not see another double MQM promo and would like to see MQMs go back to being earned purely BIS. Fat chance of that happening...

Unfortunately for Delta, it is wise for the customer to delay all bookings with Delta if possible until they know if there will be a matching promo or not and if it will be retroactive. On the other hand it is probably only a small percentage of customers who are aware of this siutation.
