Using the DL APP (on my iphone) I was "pricing" an award ticket in FC, after selecting flts, the estimate of MQMs and MQDs earned is ZERO, but with the accelerator promo award tickets are supposed to earn MQs--is that a "glitch" in their system?
Assuming everything is really OK, how would the receipt show the "fare" for the trip? [DL is valuing RDMs @ $0.01 per mile for the promo.]

503 base MQMs from IND-MSP in First class and a bonus of 568 MQMs for 2022 Medallion Status Accelerator. By my math the 568 MQMs for the bonus accelerator is correct (503*1.5)*.75 = 568, so strangely it's calculating the base correctly to calculate bonus accelerator but isn't posting the base correctly. Same goes for MSP-CUN segment, also in First.
Keep an eye on your Base MQMs! A good indication it is wrong is it your Accelerator amount is greater than your Base MQMs.
I'll wait until end of May for them to sort it out.

From my reading of the rules, it looks like your computation IS correct.
How does DL breakdown your MQMs, there should be a pre-accelerator listing, and in a separate listing accelerator MQM.[On the app vs delta.com different breakdowns are shown, but the MQMs totals seem OK.]
By any chance were you on a single flight from your dep. pt. to Cancun with a stop (but not a connection)? Were you all fc? Were you all on DL (not a partner for the 503 miles)?
DL "claims" that by 5/31 the correct values will post...you still have 15 days.

For my one (so far) PAID with $ trip after 4/1, on delta.com the bonus MQDs were displayed, on the APP the line entry didn't appear until 2 weeks after my trip, but the correct total MQDs were listed on the APP and delta.com a day after my trip's completion.
In another thread I noted issues getting estimates of MQDs for a future DL Vacation package, it took several calls to the DM line and DL Vacation (with long holds) to get an estimate, ultimately their value was $1 off from mine [round-off?], after I fly at the end of May, I'll see what really posts.
In my case I'll easily have enough MQMs to requalify for DM, it's the MQDs that I need.

I just requested a flight change using Delta's texting service, from DL 49 to DL 47, on a ticket purchased via Delta. But my flight is now showing up as "KL6020 (Operated by DL 47)"
Anyone know if this would not qualify for the accelerator? The promotion makes no mention of codeshares, only Delta flights vs Partner Airlines. And this is technically a Delta flight (right?)
And out of curiosity why would my flight show up this way in the first place?

Even though PARTNER flts don't benefit from the accelerator, their UNIQUE computation method may net better at the end.

I would request that it be changed to the DL flight number, as you requested, not just for the accelerator promo but also for convenience in seat selection, meal orders (assuming that this feature is brought back by the time of your trip), IROPs handling through DL, etc.
OTOH, I notice that you were booked onto the KLM codeshare in class J. Is it possible that the flight is sold out under the DL flight number?

Strange. If you're located in Europe, could your request have been handled by AF/KLM agents?

Was able to take advantage of a 15 min schedule change to change my connection in AMS to an earlier flight (reducing my layover by 2.5 hours) which would have otherwise cost me ~2k. I heart Delta.

Hey Folks,
any luck with pay with miles tickets posting with the cash portion? My cash portion posted without the bonus. Is there any clarification on PWM tickets or anyone else with experience?

A very helpful SMS agent was able to work with the skymiles desk and get this fixed for me.

I flew LAX-LAS yesterday and my MQMs posted immediately after the flight. Wonder if this means there have been improvements with accelerator crediting for award tickets, as that was what I flew with.

My MQD/MQM bonus posted immediately for an award flight last weekend. The MQS bonus posted separately a day later.
