There is one benefit to the promo I overlooked earlier, however. The resulting codes issues to the referrer are good through early Feb 2010, after the DELTATRYGOGO expires. While there is likely to be another promo to replace it at the turn of the year, some may want to stockpile a few freebies for Jan/Feb.
BOTH types of codes can be used over and over. I think maybe you thought that the "cryptic" codes only work once? No - they work over and over, just like DELTATRYGOGO.
So one can choose between: (1) easy to remember or (2) help flyertalkers with referral bonuses.
