By the way, I'm new and already addicted...can't seem to get my head out of the computer when I start reading posts. I've already learned so much. Thank you all for that.
Welcome to Flyertalk! Buying the US miles, even with the 100% bonus, isn't worth it to many people (those who have good use for international first class where they often shine, may). Further diluting them by doing a points.com transfer would make the value even more dubious. I believe you could purchase Delta miles directly more cheaply than the process you propose.
