I recently took a flight on SU, in Q class, and I could have sworn that Q earned 100%, not 75% when I booked the ticket. Right now it reads that it gets 75%. Am I incorrect? Has a Q class ticket on SU always received 75% MQM, or at least in the past 6 months?

Dilemma

IIRC, virtually all SU fares earned 100% in early 2009. Unfortunately, SU got stingy during 2009/2010. I almost bought a ticket on SU until I saw the changes to the earnings chart.

That's a very recent change, when the new AF/KL classes were announced a couple of weeks ago, SU Q class was still earning 100%.

This is very bad, and as typical with delta doing.
I up fare from L so that I thought I can earn 100%. But apparently, money is spent with no return.

Anyways, this is not the first time DL has screwed me. Getting less MQM means that I won't need to fly delta much as I have less roll over to worry.

Like I always say, Delta sucks.

Q used to be an upgradeable (with miles) fare. Wow. That's a huge fall off to only 75%. Wonder what the new lowest upgradeable fare is now. Hmmm...

Sad to see SU sink to AF/KL earning standards.

I was relying on that to be 100%. Now I won't make PM until after my TATL flight instead of before. So now I'm screwed out of getting reimbursed for the fee I paid for EC.

Was W class also 100% a couple weeks ago too? Or was that always (as of recent) at 75%?

Mileage earning per the chart has always been as of date of flight with DL/NW, not date of ticket purchase.

W was same as Q, 100% on my last printout

<sigh> I thought Delta fixed this issue, which I have identified before, but looking back at that old post and then clicking through to the links, you'll see that even though they did update the information on those two links (to reflect the shift to 25%/75% earning categories), there's still a discrepancy between the two pages. The first link (sorry, I'm to lazy to relink it) is for MQM earning, and shows Q at 100%. The second is for partner earning generally, and shows Q at 75% (which I think is a recent development).

I think you'd have a decent shot at getting the EC charge refunded if you wrote to DL to explain that you booked the partner ticket (on SU) relying on DL's own representation as to what MQM's you'd earn, with your forthcoming TATL flight deliberately in mind.

The rule od sky miles is always subject to change to the liking if Delta. Either screw you or screw you more.

After 2 phone calls, and 1 email, DL SM CSR temporarily changed my class from Q to H, and thus I was given 100% MQMs. And this must have happened in the past 2 days or so, but the chart HERE now says that Q and W earn 100% again, which when I started this post was in the 75% category. It now matches THIS PAGE which from eheinz pointed out in another thread they were previously not saying the same thing.

Well done! Congrats on getting your 100% MQMs and thanks on behalf of all of us SU-flyers for getting Q and W back to 100%. (Delta did forget to fix the footnote on the first page you link to, but I guess one can only hope for so much....)

Congrats on making PM ... I hope that karmic justice rewards your efforts with an op-up to BE that you wouldn't have gotten as a GM.

Unfortunately, I won't make PM until the end of the next leg of my trip. But I will be in SVO Terminal D on July 12 in the evening if anybody is around to meet up and have a drink. I'll still be GM so getting lounge access there may also be a challenge.

I have travel on SU coming up and I was wondering ... was going on with their partner redemption percentages. I'm going to be in W and I saw that page alternating between 75 and 100% over the last week.

At least MU is now listed as earning MQM!

I'll be there the morning of the 13th so (and let's hope this does not happen) if your flight gets delayed till the next day we can definitely meet.
