Yes, I got the 240 miles for my Skymiles Shopping posted two days later. But, the 1000 bonus miles for Skymiles Shopping through the 1K partner promotion have not posted to my account.

Since I am an overseas address, I'm surprised it showed some success. I will see if I can test it out.

experienced travel hackers/optimizers know that computers often act exactly like what the T&Cs do. Because marketing writing the T&Cs and programmers implement.

When the risk is low, it's worth it to find out

I made a $15 Groupon through the shopping portal and received 1030 skymiles. Relevant because I use the shopping portal regularly, I'm not a new customer

Cheapest Groupons (aside from free) are $1. If you leave the search terms blank and pick a large city (San Francisco works fine), you'll get a list of all of the available local Groupons. Filter that down to those that cost between $1 and $2 and you should see a few local restaurants offering 10% off or BOGO vouchers that cost $1.

Someone on another forum reported a Marriott transfer working this time. I just initiated a Radisson transfer to see if that would work. If anyone tries IHG, I would appreciate knowing.

Also note this language later in the promo terms:
Some partners offer multiple ways to earn miles under different products, brands, merchants, conversion of currency to miles, etc. These will still be considered as a single partner. Some examples of these cases are: Hotels booked via delta.com Hotels, merchants under the SkyMiles Shopping program, restaurants under the SkyMiles Dining program, hotel brands under the same Hotel portfolio, partner activity and a points conversion to miles from the same partner and others.
Looks like they couldn't decide if conversions would count or not, so put both forms of the language in the promo.

Success with a Marriott transfer.

Failure with a SkyMiles Shopping purchase on an account that got credit in last year's promo.

Did you transfer Skymiles -> Marriott, or Bonvoy -> Skymiles?
The latter is something I could do b/c I have no real use for Marriott points.

I also got the bonus 1K for shopping and I think I've used the shopping portal a few other times this year.

If you can't find a $1 Groupon, I've used a $2 purchase from restaurant.com, which I think is at Delta's shopping site, for promos with other carriers.

Thanks, I received a 1k bonus on a transfer as well. 5784 -> 2928 which is nearly 2:1 instead of the normal 3:1 rate. Plus I had no use for the Marriott points.

I also received the 1K bonus points from a Radisson points-to-miles conversion. And it only took two days for everything to post to my SkyMiles account.

Was any non-US resident able to earn miles from this promo ?

I just noticed my 1022 Skypeso Lyft ride from a few weeks ago now only shows at a 22 Skypeso Lyft ride in my activity. Not cool Delta. I am glad your IT diverted your resources to this. (I technically should not have earned the bonus since I used Lyft twice in 2018)

Yeah, I also had the 1000 miles deducted.

Mine is gone as well. This is the second time. The first time when I did the 1000/1500 mile promo, it went away as well, after having posted. (I wrote in with a mileage request.)
