Wow, thanks for the superfast response! Another question... What if I did not have an NWA account at the time I took the flight.... Is it possible to still sign up for an account and get the miles credited (I am wondering because I am on a trip with 25 other people, many of whom have not done anything with the flights we have taken... and I was wondering if I will be able to sign them up for mileage accounts once we return to the US and they can still get flights credited (we have flown, Kenya Airways, Virgen, UA, Air India, Qantas and ANZ... I know most of the partners, and most can get credit through either NWA/Delta or US/UA)....
Thanks for the help... so that I can help those who have missed out on ohhhh so many miles!
