IN THE MEANTIME... I just got an email to do a survey and get 10k more points!
I just received one too, but mine was for 30K and had a unique tracking code linked to my account (meaning I can't submit more than once).

10k too

10K here as well. I redeemed 10K last year for the drink cirts and actually managed to use most of them. (They expired end of 2011 and I never tried to see if DL would take expired ones...oh well). PM me if you'd like to donate any extras to me

I too got the 10k survey. FYI - drink chits should really be drink or snack chits. DL's chits are good for non-perishable snacks too. Makes them more useful than chits on other airlines.

Also got the extra 10k. Can one ask the FA not to open the beer or wine and just take like 10 bottles home? Otherwise I guess drinks are on me for everyone on my next flight!

I Give Mine Away.

I give one to every service man or woman I see waiting for a flight in the Delta corridor. It's the least I can do to say "thank you"!

The HOOUs from SkyBonus are NOT good for snacks (unless this has changed very recently). They are still the old style good for beer, wine, cocktail, or headset.

Thanks OP!

I signed up and got the 25k and 2k from SkyBonus University.


I rarely fly on paid DL flights and will not fly DL until October. Ideally, I would like to get 3k more points so I get the club passes. Is there any way to earn 3k points without flying DL? Otherwise, I will be having quite a few drinks on that flight.

Thanks for your insights.

Other than special bonuses and promos like the survey recently detailed, I don't know of other ways to earn SkyBonus points aside from flying Delta and their partners and earning as outlined on this page. That's not surprising, however, as it is a Delta loyalty program designed to reward you for flying Delta. If you've added your account number to the profiles of all your family/friends/employees, you will be gaining points when they fly, so perhaps you'll get your top-off points sooner than you're expecting?
