I know that, at least in theory, segment points can be earned on NW for OnePass elite qualification, but I'm too lazy/dumb to figure which fares are/aren't eligible. I never consider DL because they don't offer segment credit at all, and I am a million-miler and a former Flying Colonel. However, I don't get the impression they particularly miss me.
i never fly DL b/c of no points. i used to fly NW more often when we received points on any fare, but as said above, i dont bother trying to figure out and then price certain NW fare classes just to get points. i fly them a few times a year, b/c i still end up earning enough points with my CO flights.
