hmmm, having only like 1.500 miles left in Delta, I actually got a card from them over the summer suggesting I convert these into mags and I was able to sign up for 3 subscriptions!

2 subs. came as planned, one had to be called about for a couple months but it eventually came and they offered me some extra issues too because of the mix up. I now have like 50 miles in my non used DL account. the goal has been to not have miles in the accounts I do not use (I use NWA, a partner) and i had been prepared to lose the remaining minutia.

Anyway, I should note that one thing I also received was one of the craftily worded marketing letters that says you can add on another year for only $1 and blah blah blah....

BUT the fine print has a little section on how, if you FAIL to send in some post card they are supposed to mail you or this and that, you will get billed the full rate for all the mags... And they werent giving you any deals!

I guess the moral of the story is this--either way you go: Just be careful of these things. Only sign up for what you wanted to and set out for.
