You should have ordered what you wanted online prior to the flight.

It is you who are a DYKWIA and what this forum is about!
Someone who paid miles is not a non-rev. Delta's accounting includes a charge for miles in customers' accounts, so spending miles counts as revenue.

Only someone who isn't paying anything (except maybe taxes, which don't affect Delta's revenue) is a non-rev.
