I agree. Delta should not care if 1K came from no $ or lots of $. But the might care if the 1K meant the difference between giving someone 12,000 bonus SkyMiles as opposed to 20,000 (19 partners versus 20 partners). Not that I think this will happen. I plan to use a minimum of 22 partners to give me a buffer above the 20-count threshold. YMMV
