I edited my post above right when you replied to it, so if you wouldn't mind looking at it again.

And, yes- a DL employee with a mileage acct w/ AA/CO/UA and of course DL.

My stay at the Sheraton FLL (booked online at the DL rate) earned Starpoints, but the 5 nights at the Philadelphia Sheraton did not (only on meals etc). I guess b/c it was coded as "crew rate" even though it was booked online too (as w/ FLL).

The property I just booked just says: "DELTA BUSINESS RATE" nothing about crew rates- so.......? I'm hoping its yes!
