You read that correctly — not per Delta Air Lines SkyMile, as your Platinum bonus automatically goes to approximately 1.65¢ per mile.
How does $139.60 for 5,950 Medallion Qualification Miles sound to you?!? Fly Delta Air Lines round-trip between Baltimore and Los Angeles via John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York.
Go to the Mileage Run forum for additional details. You have your choice of Delta Air Lines or Northwest Airlines.
I hope this helps.
Thanks for the info! That is a pretty amazing deal, but alas, the mrs. is not so down with mileage-runs
(plus i do rather enjoy seeing my daughter at home on weekends). Through the odd trip here or there + amex bonuses, i will likely make it to 25k, but thats about it. Next year will really be rough - especially if i end up on a project requiring long flights!
