Gilt City: 50% Delta "F" fares from JFK/LAX-AUS
http://www.giltcity.com/national/deltaairlines
Looks like you can purchase "F" fares at 59% off via Gilt City. Flights are LAX-AUS RT and JFK-AUS.
I'm wondering if it's an actual F fare... I'll give it a try and let you guys know.

FYI - You could buy using 1-way tickets then make a new account and keep using Promotion Code Welcome20 for an additional 20% off. If you buy round trip the coupon maxes out at $50.00.

When I actually book I will post what the actually fare basis is. I am also of course going to screen shot this gilt city ad in case of any mileage issues.

I purchased two vouchers for JFK-AUS RT. I would suspect you would get mileage credit based on this jargon in the advert "500 bonus miles in purchaser’s SkyMiles account". It also clearly says "One round-trip, non-refundable First Class (F class)". Says "F" class but then nonrefundable would contradict it actually being an "F".

Actually looking at the DL site even if it was an F, A or P fare class, it would still earn the 150% and full MQM - just not the MQD... So we should be in good shape. Nowhere does it say it will be treated as an award ticket, even though it's structured as one.

Is saying that they won't count towards DL MQM... Can anyone confirm this?

TPG describes these as full FC f class but says no MQMs. Could they be consolidator fares? It might be possible to figure out the class from the percentage off. TPG suggests it's not G and not P implicitly, so someone should look at A fares and seen what the claimed 59% off gets you.

If that's the case we can simply let them expire and then according to the terms and conditions the full value becomes good for future delta travel.
