There are same day turnarounds, including on weekends on Feb 2, 3, 9. Also flexibility to stay for 1 or more nights. See lots of dates from Jan 28 to mid March. Bookable on DL.
Similar AS Saver fares seen.
I was just about to post this myself. Deal is still active for a few weekdays and weekends in February.
Luckily, I was able to book $230 main cabin with JFK as a next day return connection, came out to ~4.4cpm. I purchased last December for a weekend in February, and at the time I even saw same/next day round trips with JFK connections on both legs, priced under $200 basic economy or around $250 main cabin. Unfortunately I was unable to fly on those days.
RDU is my home airport and DL is my preferred airline. I setup an alert for future RDU/SEA round trips, as I am hoping DL has regular deals for this route often. Seems ideal for quick mileage runs!
Update Edit (1/21/19) : I ran another search just now and found RDU-JFK-SEA-JFK-RDU for a select few week days in late February for mostly same/next day round trip travel. Comes out to $188 or 3.2cpm (Basic) and 4.2 cpm (Main) and 5,842 MQM and 4 MQS
