will open jaw at destination qualify for the promotion, PIT-ATL-LAX//SNA-ATL-PIT under one PNR?

Also, per the suggestion of a previous poster, and as a response to this question, read this: http://flyerguide.com/wiki/index.php...ies_Bonus_2010

And good luck asking for those miles, as it seems virtually no DL CS phone reps are aware of this promotion. You may have to enlist the services of Kevin Pinto to get proper mileage credit.

I gave CS a try but they seem quite unaware and/or unable to do much.
It's a bit frustrating considering that if the promo was corrected in my account, I'd finally be DL Silver/FO. My bookings will get me to gold in a month. And with some changes and additional bookings, I may well be Platinum by end of year or a very healthy rollover.
I dropped Kevin an email but he's out until 9/7. His autoreply indicates you can contact two others but I don't want to push it so I'll wait.

would this still work for the promo?
I am looking at booking a PIT-HNL-PIT run to see a friend in HNL....i'd like to book a second ticket from PHL-PIT-PHL to get me to PIT to start the trip to HNL..
would it still qualify for the promo if i did that, referring to the HNL trip not the trip to PIT?

No reason why not, so long as you meet the other requirements (e.g. all Delta, etc). Don't route from PIT-PHL-HNL or HNL-PHL-PIT though. The computer will see it as backtracking and things will get confused. I expect to get credit for my trip but it'd be nice not to have the hassle.

It'd probably be a LOT cheaper to book a WN or US ticket from PHL/PIT/PHL non-stop. DL's cheapest fare is something like $118 + tax = $158ish. You might find WN or US at $39 each way + tax = $98 and save a lot of time without connecting in DTW

Like others, I have gotten nowhere with anyone at DL CS. Much as I hated to bother Kevin with this, he is the only one who will get inside our accounts and get it fixed. Incredibly, it took only a few minutes after I emailed him.
He is on vacation this week but if you need him to adjust your account, it can be done quickly. That is why he is Da Man!

Not a bad idea as long as you don't mind giving up the 2,000 MQM's PHL-PIT r/t. As Kevin explained it to me, the problem is with DL's IT system. It sees anything after the PHL-PIT as a connection so the 2X portion gets buried inside the itinerary, even when it is a separate PNR.
I figured someone would say that! I'm not sure if 2000 MQM's are worth $60, but I guess the 10K bonus sweetens the pot a little.
I've read most of this thread, but I can't remember coming across this.
Question to whoever:
I know the rules say something about buying a round trip ticket. Has anyone gotten credit with a one-way ticket?

Enjoy your vacation, KP. It is hard earned. You really help out a lot of FTers and it is very much appreciated.

That's my experience. All I get from customer support is that the miles will post 6-8 weeks after the promotion ends, with no acknowledgement that my miles are posting, just incorrectly.
I gave CS a try but they seem quite unaware and/or unable to do much.
It's a bit frustrating considering that if the promo was corrected in my account, I'd finally be DL Silver/FO. My bookings will get me to gold in a month. And with some changes and additional bookings, I may well be Platinum by end of year or a very healthy rollover.
