Booking by Dec 31 is going to be tough as I fly this route 2-3 times a month but don't buy that far out.

At the latest, it's starting on June 30th, since my flight SEA-ANC that day is a DL 2000-level flight number (i.e. not a 9000-level AS codeshare).

The only problem with Delta offering double MQM is they are not nearly as valuable as they used to me. If you don't spent $10k you'll still not be platinum! Gotta love the MQD

Exactly my thoughts when I read about this promo. Unless you plan to also spend $25K on a DL Amex card, mileage running to get status on DL doesn't make a lot of sense any more, even with double MQM promotions. Perhaps as a way to push you over the top if you've already met the MQD requirement, but otherwise no.

and they are loaded in the system.
The problem is that one has to buy before the end of 2013 for the double MQM. That would be a long time planning, buying by December 2013 to fly in May 2014. I'm a bit disappointed here. First time I was eligible for a Delta promotion in many years

$350 MQD's for this flight (after taxes).
I'll only need $12,150 more in MQD's and I'll be Diamond! (assuming I have the MQM's, of course)

I have been flying PHL-SEA-ANC-BRW for most of the summer and fall on AS with my credit going to SM. I thought I could use the new promo on the SEA-ANC leg to get closer to Diamond. Tried to make some resv. for Dec. 2013 and found , like others, that there are no DL flights SEA-ANC until mid year 2014. Spent over an hour with three DL reps. No help. Sent an email to Delta.com and here is their response.....
Thank you for contacting us.
I am truly sorry for your frustration with the 2013 Seattle Double Miles
and Double MQM promotion.
While it is true that our 2 new seasonal flights from Seattle to
Anchorage do not begin until June, these flights are within the travel
period for this promotion. Please know I will be sharing your feedback
with our Marketing and Promotions leadership team for review.
Please accept our apology for the unfavorable impression you received in
this instance. We appreciate your selection of Delta and will always
consider it a privilege to be of service.

You just need to make your reservations before 12/31/13 for your flights in June 2014 on DL and you'll get the double MQM's.

^^^ You bring up a VERY good point. I wrote a short winded article about this exact thing today for my website on Upgrd.com . Long story short. Delta has gone form competing with AS on 5 routes to 11 in less than 1 year from seattle, and added competition on several other AS routes.
