I feel so excited!!!!!!
I am waiting this for a long time, luckily I did not participate their 75% buy miles bonus program in Nov...

Delta is learning from US Airways...

These ade not MQM, just bonus miles.

vxmike

120,000 miles for $1,680 or $.014/mile after the bonus.

Not bad if you have a specific use in mind and will come out ahead in $$.

Does this calculation factor in the double miles for DL purchase on AMEX?

CruzinAway

Yes, 60,000 miles plus 60,000 miles (bonus) for $1680.00. Not bad IF you have a specific premium and/or international flight you plan to take.

And you also earn double miles on the Delta.com purchase price of the miles themselves, so for $1680 you get 60,000 + 60,000 + 1,680 + 1,680 = 123,360 miles for 1.36 cents per miles or $.0136 if you prefer it that way.

Must use Delta AMEX Card for bonus.

Is DL desperate for cash flow!?!?!? They did this last May/June. While I think I should buy the full 120k miles to help myself get to the 230k level for a planned trip to JNB in May, 2012, I'm afraid that DL may make all of their JNB flights require the "high" tier mileage or even raise the award levels.

Glad to say I have only 150,000 SkyPesos....

Way to devaluate the currency. Delta: The official airline of Zimbabwe.

Yeah....

Does anyone know how these transactions post on the credit card statement? I have $200 in incidentals to spend by December 31 on my business platinum. I am trying to see if buying miles qualifies for the rebate.

I am wondering if this can be used to as a "Delta purchase of $200 or more" to receive the $50 eCert (targeted offer). If so, that may make this worth doing...

I recently got a new delta AMEX card last month, and got the 35K bonus miles from *1 and *2 below, I would like to know if I can get $100 back with the purchase of this pomotion (100% bonus on purchased miles)?



Earn 20,000 bonus miles with your first purchase*1
Earn another 15,000 bonus miles when you spend $1,000 in three months*2
And get $100 cash back when you make a Delta purchase*3

*3. Cardmember must charge a Delta purchase to their Gold Delta SkyMiles® Credit Card within the first six months of Cardmembership. One $100 statement credit will be issued for the first Delta purchase made with the Card. Purchase must be made directly through Delta. Credit issued as a Cardmember statement credit approximately 8-12 weeks after your first Delta purchase. To receive statement credit, account must be in good standing and not in default

I should know better than to think I can be the first one to post an offer in FT.


I received this email today, but I guess some people got this a couple of days ago.

I don't think your case qualifies. Based on the information below, it seems you need to purchase a delta flight (rather than purchasing miles) in order to be eligible for the $50 e-cert,






Receive a $50 Delta eCert good towards qualifying air travel in 2011 with a Delta purchase. First register any eligible American Express® Card between December 1, 2010 and January 15, 2011. Then make a single Delta ticket purchase of $200 or more with your registered Card by January 15, 2011 for travel that must be completed by March 31, 2011. A unique promo code will be mailed to you 6-8 weeks after the promotion to redeem for your $50 Delta eCert good towards future travel on Delta Air Lines. You will need a Delta SkyMiles number to register. Don’t have one? Simply visit delta.com/skymilesenrollment/landing.action to get one--it's free, easy and opens up a world of travel opportunities.

It's actually $1,806 after taxes -- so 1.46 CPM.

I called Amex and asked them directly if it would cover buying, sharing, gifting miles and was told that it would not. Bummer!
