Good to hear all succeeded anyway though!
Thanks for the comment, then my subject is incorrect. In my case, I bought a ticket with cash (no miles redeem), and I chose flying blue to earn the miles generated by this ticket. In addition, I enjoyed the benefits of my elite plus on delta skymiles.

A better subject could be: benefit of my elite plus status (delta skymiles), but earn the miles on a different FF program (flying blue).
if any mod wants to edit it!
