Since one registers on a Delta owned site with their Delta SkyMiles number, I see little chance one could get this bonus more than once.

When you register, it just asks for an email and Skymiles number. Where did you go to register a personal vs corporate amex?
If it accepted your Skymiles number, I'm pretty sure transferring your Membership Rewards points, whether earned from a Gold/Personal Amex vs Corporate Amex will not matter.

I'm just starting to fly DL. Starting in Jan I'll fly about 15,000 domestic miles per month.
Right now I am GM from my Amex Centurion card (automatic status) and I have about 10K MQMs this year.
If I transfer 50K MR to Skymiles and get the 25K MQMs in Dec will my 35K MQMs be worthless in 2011 or will they rollover and I'll start 2011 with 35K MQMs?
With only 10K MQMs right now - 75K MQMs may be too far away for me to earn PM status by the end of the year.
Thoughts?

Thanks OP.^
Registered last night when I saw this thread. After reading the thread today, I verified on DL that my registartion showed under my promotions. Went to the AmEx MR site and noticed that the offer shows up there as well. Transferred 50K points and presto, the points, bonus and MQMs appeared in my Skymiles account.
2 more trips and I will now hit Diamond -- and this means I can stop spending on my DL Reserve card trying to hit another threshold bonus.

This is a great deal. For 50k Amex miles and $30 I just got 100k Delta miles and 25k MQM. Thank you poster and FlyerTalk.
(I am a DM and have 120k MQM this year already. I was going to stop flying Delta, drop to PM and roll over 45 MQM. After all, DM is not very different from PM. Now, I stay DM, pick up the 25k bonus for DM, and roll over 20 MQM plus whatever else I fly.)

Still waiting for the bonuses
Registered and transfered yesterday all in one step - after registering there was a "transfer points" button which I followed and made th 50k transfer.....
Got the 50k but neither bonus has showed up yet. Others?
Not on my promos page - called DL just to be sure the remark it in my record....

My bonus did not yet either, but from reading this thread it appears that it may take a day or more for some - maybe till a Friday passes. No one has reported a problem, so I assume that if you are registered okay you will be fine.

I registered and then transferred and the points haven't shown up. This has happened to me before on other Delta/MR promos. I'm not terribly concerned as they've always posted the bonus miles, albeit just a little bit behind when I immediately signed up. It's usually a couple of weeks and then it shoots through.

Can We Use Advanced Points
I've looked at the T&Cs and skimmed the 9 pages of posts and I didnt notice that this was addressed. (I apologize if I missed it.) I have a Platinum AMX card, but I do not have 50,000 MR points (about 15,000 short). Can I get an advance (as I've done before) to make up this shortfall and then transfer to take advantage of this Promo? I wouldn't have a problem "paying back the advance" this calendar year, but I couldn't guarantee that any spending I did before December 15 would post in time.

I have 2 AmEx cards, one business (green AmEx) and one personal (DL SkyMiles AmEx). When I went to register, only the business card account showed up after I logged in. Then when I selected the card number, a window opened saying that there would be a $75 charge to join the rewards program for this card.

I know that I can get an advance. What I was trying to determine is whether anyone has investigated whether there was anything about this promotion that would negate the use of "advanced" points for the transfer? I think I'll call AMX and/or DL. I assume that DL is really the relevant party, and I think that it is a lot more difficult to obtain accurate information from them.
