Are we sure this isn't a targetted promo? If you go onto www.delta.com and look for the promo it doesn't show up. If you go to the link provided it does. I know there has been some discussion on the 30% promo that just ended being targetted as well and some people are concerned they will not be getting the promo points.

No problem registering
I just register using the link provided above. It said "your card is registered" . I never received the promotion from actual mail. I didnt transfer yet but as long as the card can register. I think it can transfer with bonus.

As with the recently ended 07/15/05 Promotion that offered a 30% bonus, I have successful registered on the link for the new promo that offers 35% bonus. However, when I called to AX in July to transfer at the 30% bonus, I was told I was not eligible for the promo or the 30% bonus. Ergo, I transferred nothing from MR to DL Skymiles and didn't push the situation even though I had supposedly registered successfully on the DL site.
I'll see what happens now with the 35% Promo. DL site says that my registration has been accepted and complete.
There have in fact been promos in the past when I tried to register and registration was denied. Me thinks that should have been the case in this situation as well. Seems to me that if the fine print in the promo says that any Skymile memeber living in the US is eligible for the promo. Is a bit frustrating to learn after the fact, that even though ones registration has been accepted, that inclusion into the promotion in not apparently assured.
Anyone else have this problem?

I was in the same boat with the 30% promo. I registered, and actually transferred a lot of points. After having been told by Delta it would work, they were unable to find my registration and referred me to amx. amx then denied me saying it was a targeted promo. After a little discussion, during which they looked at my annual spend, I was promised the bonus miles. Still waiting though as they won't post till 3 months later.

They better not say it's targeted.. since the T&C don't suggest that...

Please do report on this thread when you get the 30% bonus. I had registered for the promo. Prior to the transfer of miles, I confirmed with AMEX that I was eligible and was registered for the 30% bonus. I believe that the promo ended July 15th and DL can take up to 8 weeks to post the bonus miles. So, they have up to Sep 15th to post the miles.

called and was told that the promo was targeted
Hi,
Like many readers of this thread, I "successfully" registered for this promotion online... with no confirmation that I was truly registered (and if you try to register again, it doesn't say, 'you're already registered for this promotion').
So today I decided to call the American Express number for the promotion and asked to enroll. The agent asked for my American Express number which I provided, then she said, "It appears that you weren't targeted for this promotion. It doesn't show in the system that you are registered or that you were targeted for the bonus. Even if you transfer the points, you will not receive the 35% bonus. Where did you hear about this promotion?" - so I guess it would be prudent for everyone to be careful in assuming that the 35% bonus will be posted, since according to Amex, it is a targeted promotion and may only apply to a subset of FTers who received the mailing.
