how do you get these offers?
I've was gold for the past 15 months and just made platinum, i never get these targeted offers and was not able to access any with the URLs posted. What list do you have to get on to have these offers apply to you?

In your case, the algorithm was probably written to not choose customers who were already on a trajectory to make Platinum or Diamond on their own. Based on your flying for 2011, they probably saw you would make Platinum for sure, and maybe Diamond, and even though it is poor promo from a PR point of view, the dry DL accountants probably love it.

Best just to stay up to date with this forum and post anything that DL sends your way - for the rest of the team...

There is no "list to get on" per se. Delta, and other airlines and loyalty programs, simply designs algorithms for their computer systems to seek out the profiles and flying patterns of certain types (mostly how often, how many miles, what status now and in past years, etc.) of flyers, and uses those results to target some customers with promotions offers, and not others.

My spouse dropped to non-elite, but was not targeted to get it back, despite a 15K trip this past week. Bummer.

The 4 "thank you" or "status fast" offers appear to be for those who dropped a rank of elite (or should have been one). I dropped a rank and was targeted (and do NOT get all the offers myself) - but I never got the email. Go figure...

(NO, DO NOT WRITE an e-mail, too easy to send out a form response.)

Is there a particular desk to call with this kind of request? ("Please include me in the 'Status Fast" promo" or some sort of status challenge.) The newest guy in my office will be flying a fair amount of BIS miles for us and we'd like to make his stay in Zone 4 shorter if possible.

Then since you are an FO, then I would call the Medallion Special Services line and ask them what is possible for you and for your friend. You might also ask them about opening a SkyBonus account for your company and see if that would help any.

I'm looking at the new member bonus (looks like I have to take Delta on a couple trips this year), and I just want to clarify that I sign up for Skymiles first, then after I receive my number, I register in the 'register today' area.
Additionally, does DL send out any email confirmation that I am signed up for the promotion? Thanks!

What is the Membership Rewards MQM Bonus? I'm registered for it but when I click on it, I get "Method Not Allowed". I don't recall what it is but I registered for it back in February and it ends May 31.

Or possibly those who hit a new upgrade this past year? I was Silver for last 2 years, made Gold in 2010 and received the promotional offer.
