"Come on back to Delta.com"

I've gotten no less than 4 emails like this in the past few weeks, usually after going to .dumb to check flight status or to see if I've made the World Record for most schedule changes to a single itinerary yet:

(unless you're trying to book an award ticket)

I have gotten a fair number recently as well. I book through a TA, so I just delete these as I get them.

Every time you walk through a booking and do not pull the trigger they send one of those to you.

Well that's silly. Send me a coupon or some SkyPesos instead.

I've gotten the email in question as well, but nowhere near as many times as I search without buying an itin

70-to-90% of the time I book through www.delta.com, balance 10-30% through the online travel agencies mainly www.orbitz.com.

It's just worthless mail!

You mean because of something like this:

"Whoops, let's try that again"

"The flights you have entered do not exist"

"We're sorry, the fares you are trying to purchase just sold out"

"04239483 Error, please try back later"

"We're experiencing technical difficulties, please try back later"

"The flights you are looking for do not exist"
