I recollect reading somewhere on FT that you are doing MRs.
I have a JFK-LAS-JFK DL Vacation booked for Memorial Day weekend, NOT a MR, but I'm not using their hotels, hopefully my trip posts correctly.

Since all your segments were C+ (100%), your MQD = MQM/5 as expected. I assume the price you paid to DL Vacations was considerably less than the MQDs earned.

MR through Delta vacations in Comfort Plus or First Class seems like a great way to earn MQDs

I’m flying on a DL Vacation 5/28-6/1 itn. The “normal” MQM, MQD (“method D”) for the 5/28 flt posted when I arrived. NO accelerator listing nor the appropriate bonus are showing [i checked the APP and delta.com]. It is now 6/1/21 6:35 AM PDT = 9:35 AM EDT (Atlanta time)..
I’m taking a red-eye late this evening, perhaps for DL Vacations the accelerator doesn’t kick-in until the itn is completed.
Should I have to call Delta, do I call DL Skymiles or DL Vacations (they “own” my itn)?

I've taken 3 DL vacation packages so far and all accelerator postings were there.
Did you check on the app as well, as sometimes the website shows different things

i checked both the APP and delta.com. Did your ACCELERATOR posting appear after each day’s activity or at the end of the trip?

I flew May 1-May 9 and didn't get the accelerator bonuses. I sent a message via the website in hopes they would get it fixed without me having to sit on hold and wait. It's a giant pile of MQMs and MQDs and will probably make the difference between me only managing silver this year versus requalifying for gold or better for the 9th straight year. It's a pretty great haul.

I’ll wait until after I complete my trip this evening before I contact DL.

Just sent it today, as it's only now June 1 and they said they would post "by May 31." So I figured I'd let them run out the clock. Assuming mine go through, I need to get my wife's credited as well, as this will give her silver status for the first time ever.

I called DL on the DM line*, the agent I spoke with contacted her "help desk", there is a known issue with DL Vacation Accelerator bonuses posting, they are working to fix the issue. I guess it is not a problem for everyone--since there are posts in this thread showing accelerator MQs which did post.
*I was quoted 18 min, got the CB in 10.
--I'm breaking out the Dom P to celebrate.

I have a DL Vacation pkg. flt coming up this weekend, if the ACCELERATOR doesn't post (correctly), that will leave me with 2 errant itns. As I noted (#27) they know about the issue, but as a "backup" I'd like to have my request in "written" form; I was trying to use the "mileage-missing" option on www.delta.com but I don't think that is the correct route--what is the best way?

Just want to close the loop and say that my flights finally were corrected today. Turned out really well for me — I'm thrilled.

Follow-up, for my DL Vacation itn 5/28-6/1 the ACCELERATOR correctly posted on 6/8. Hopefully DL has sorted out their issues with DL Vacations and the ACCELERATOR and my future trips will all post properly--without having to call DL.
