I hope DL keeps this program in place for a while. Just started checking a bag (I almost never have in the past) and it has been rewarding so far.....

I had hopes last night at RDU when I saw my claim had a ATL flight, two LGAs and my MSP flight. Even so, MSP bags were out in 16 minutes. I still have not made any miles off this offer

On 1/3, in BHM the first three bags were out in 14 minutes. Then the belt jammed. It was another 16 minutes before the rest of the bags came out, so 30 minutes after landing. The nice thing about BHM is they have these huge monitors with the flight arrival time on them, and the current time along the bottom. I just kept taking pictures Didn't realize had to file in 3 days. I filed on the 4th day, the online form, fully expecting a denial which I was prepared to rebut. Didn't have to, though, 2500 miles deposited within a couple days.

Just went to RDU and they are always late there. I submitted my claim that night and my coworker did the next day. His bag came out first and then mine. I got my 2500 miles the next day and he was declined for some reason.

You and I must fly to different RDUs. I live here and the longest I've waited for my bags since this promotion is 16 minutes. Sometimes my bag is out in 12 minutes.

Tried it at FLL last Friday. Figured a full 757-300 would give me a good shot. First bag came out in 11 minutes, my bag without a Sky Priority tag was about the 10th out. Still no luck for me and I've tried at AUS, RDU and FLL now.

Has anyone asked for the 2500 miles recently in the situation of an international to domestic connection (all DL operated and DL marketed on DL ticket stock) where the bag goes through customs and is rechecked at the port of entry, then arrives more than 20 minutes after arrival of the final domestic segment?

Flight yesterday, shuttle BOS-LGA. Ding at 9:08, got to baggage claim and the sign said bags from my flight would be there at 9:30. Was looking forward to 2500 miles, then my bag showed up at 9:18.

Flying into BNA, got off the plane at 9:44, bag came out at 9:52. I want to be mad about still having gotten 0 miles from this promo, but honestly I'm just happy that I am getting my bags so quickly.

Yesterday, I called up for my 2500 miles when my bag took about 35 minutes to get out of the conveyor at PHL; DL1895 landed at 11:43am from ATL.
The Delta app normally seems to track the bags nicely, but I noticed the app didn't report the bag was unloaded off the plane, even as I received it. Sky Priority bags didn't seem to be the first ones. Sure enough, the miles are in the bank as of this afternoon. Five minute phone call from the rental car.
From experience, PBI has more leisurely baggage handlers; although you might pay a bit more to get there instead of FLL, and have less inbound/outbound options.
