Yeah, me too. For a minute I thought that this promo would make me accept connecting in SEA to Asia with the resulting short TPAC flight time.

Do you think in the future promotions like this will offer DMQM's and DMQD's?

First off, I have flown AS on the SEA-ANC route, so I didn't know if DL did or didn't fly this same route. Once I saw the web page, it indicates that DL flys SEA-ANC at least once daily. If you are not aware of the seasonal nature of DL flights and you read the page as it is written, one would think that DL runs this route daily. Not true! There is no indication of a seasonal routing on the page.

So, SEA-SLC-SAN, for instance would get nothing.
However, if "somewhere"-SEA-LAX-"somewhere else", then you get credit for the eligible middle segment only (as an example).

For me, the AmEx spend waiver is no problem, nor are the MQDs requirements a problem as I tend to get expensive tickets exMSP. In fact, I rarely see tickets on flights I need being offered for less than ten cents per mile.

Bumping myself. Anyone know the answer? Say I buy an A fare, is it Flown Miles * (1.5 for A fare) * (2.0 for promotion) = Flown Miles * 3, or is it Flown Miles * (1.5 for A fare) + Flown Miles * (2.0 for promotion) = Flown Miles * 2.5

For mileage runners, the CPM calculation is dead on DL and UA.

Has anyone found any mileage-run worthy flights using this promo? So many routes don't exist yet that I'm having a hard time getting to below 6cpm....

With a double MQM bonus, the cpm is 4.1. Prices are higher after early March.
Alaska dropped their lowest fare on the route to $147. I booked five of the Delta roundtrips, but most of the Saturday dates that I booked are now higher.
I prefer flying to airports with good transit connections to something worth seeing.
SeaTac fits this criteria.
