I don't know about that
The ticket is for my wife and so she said the $300 isn't worth the 100% MQM. I disagreed, but she insisted.
The itinerary showed up on her dl.com log in right away, and I couldn't be happier, as it's booked in V and L class, which according to DL.com earns 100%.

Cheaptickets, Orbitz, et. al. sell both published and consolidator fares. I believe Orbitz generally designates consolidator fares as "special" fare deals. Not sure about Cheaptickets. Also, the hotel/flight packages can also include consolidator fares.

That may explain it....
Thanks! That may explain why I never received anything. To be quite honest, I never knew that they sold both published and consolidator fares. Delta was pretty secure in their answer when I advised them I purchased them on Cheaptickets though.
