I probably won't pull the trigger, but might on the MSP>ANC leg depending on price.
Doesn't seem to be on the surface, but DL is probably basing it on what they expect to sell. Buy most of our tickets early so F cabin is usually available and most of the time get offers, but not all. Some offers are reasonable, like around $100 for 4 short segments, and others have been over $800 for similar flights.

Amount changes often and some days a flight doesn't have an offer and then it will be back in the next few days.

Do not expect to see an offer if using a companion ticket. From other postings it seems like you probably won't see one on award tickets.
