OK, pardon my ignorance but those with Delta Platinum Skymiles cards don't earn MRs right? I was under the impression only the basic AMEX cards (not tied to Delta) earned MRs but wanted to verify. Thanks.
Thanks you for this - this is great news and a superb promo!
Not quite as lucrative as the last round (20K MR back on 50K MR transferred, effectively giving a 67% bonus because 30K MR = 50K DL), but this one is essentially a 43% bonus (35K MR = 50K DL) and still quite appealing.
I would like to note, however, that you might have made the same mistake in the T&Cs as with the last promo, in stating:
"The electronic certificate will be sent to qualified members by email 6-8 weeks following registration in promotion."
Aside from the grammatical error, this means that if someone registers today, even if they wait until Dec 31st to do their transfer, they'll expect to have their e-cert by Jan 4th at the latest. Maybe this was your intention, but if you actually meant to say "6-8 weeks following the conclusion of the promotion" or "6-8 weeks after your qualifying transfer", then you might want to make an update.

Buy or Gift Miles between November 1 and November 30, 2011, and you will get up to a 30,000 mileage bonus
Mileage Bonus:
Buy 10,000 – 18,000 miles = 5,000 bonus
Buy 20,000 – 28,000 miles = 10,000 bonus
Buy 30,000 – 38,000 miles = 15,000 bonus
Buy 40,000 – 48,000 miles = 20,000 bonus
Buy 50,000 – 58,000 miles = 25,000 bonus
Buy 60,000 miles = 30,000 bonus
On a different note, I also received the 30,000 bonus miles DL Amex card offer that has been floating around. The good news is that it is supposed to expire 12/18/2011. Let's hope a better offer will come by after that time.

When I click on link and put in my FF # the landing page shows 25 k On first purchase 15k bonus miles on $1 k spend and $100 back on any DL Purchse in first 6 months with first year free.
Come on guys tell me yes or no on this card. I just burned 100k on a J RT and with 240 K left am thinking about this .
Worth it or hold out for better deals later. You guys are the experts.
Give it up

Correct, only the "Real Amex" gets you MR points - the green card, the gold card, the platinum card and the black card.
And in some cases you need to pay a fee to be on the MR program. Fee is waived for the Plat and Black cards, as far as I know.

Start Making Every Mile Count
Sorry if this has already been posted. I searched and didn't find it.
I received this in the US Mail a bit ago:
START MAKING EVERY MILE COUNT
By signing up to receive deals, promotions, and more by email, you'll be among the first to know about our best deals and other ways you can save time and money. The 1,000 bonus miles are just the beginning: you'll also get insider access to fare sales, partner offers, SkyMiles promotions, and bonus mileage-earning opportunities.

What's interesting is I'm positive I'm signed up for everything. Anyways -- it's targeted as I was able to sign up but my wife was not.

FYI, the award travel rebate took about 2 weeks to post, so it doesn't wait until the end of the promo to post.

So you don't think 50K miles (100k to another person's account minus 50K from your account) is worth $500?

Just received the same offer. Seems that it would be as good as some mileage runs I've seen others take....of course, no MQM's. What's the value of a mile vs. a MQM? Seems to be a different answer to that question, with each person you ask. Worth is relative to...........
