Priceline is always the confusing one because they offer both transparent and opaque bookings. For DL flights booked it has always followed the following:

- If I CHOSE a Delta flight (transparent) then I got the miles and MQMs no differently than had I booked on delta.com

- If I "named my own price" and Delta happened to be the airline that I got booked on (opaque) then, NO, I do not get miles or MQMs.
