500 mile bonus for flying through LAX until 9/30

So as I always do, I did search to see if this is already posted. If this is a dupe, let me or the mods know.

I would have thought this would catch my eye, but anyway here is a 500 mile bonus for flying in/out of LAX through the end of the month. Registration needed and you have to scan a QR code on signs at LAX which is kind of weird.

Also don't forget that T2 baggage claim is such a disaster, you are pretty much guaranteed the 2500 mile bonus for delayed baggage.
CO-PLAT and uanj like this.

I logged into my account and clicked on the link the OP provided. Looks like I automatically got some miles...

I got the same resulting screen as you did (and I have not been through LAX since June), but it feels far more likely that they copy/pasted HTML code from one promo to another. OTOH you never know with Delta IT...

I think baggage claim is MUCH better now, lately gotten them in 10 minutes...

There was one near the exit of the terminal area as you walk into the headhouse. The link OP posted works. I submitted my Skymiles number via the link the day before my flight, and when the miles from the flight posted, the 500 bonus miles were wrapped into the posting.

Well I flew to/from LAX earlier in the month... so will see what happens. I was able to register with the link also.
I don't recall seeing any signs/codes in the terminal.

Initially I received the same thing. Try logging in prior.

nothing is going to happen. As it says on the promo page: "mileage may only be claimed via QR code"

Really odd that you'd have to register and scan a QR code in the airport, even though DL knows that you flew to/from LAX from your account activity.

Again, I've only used the link provided via someone else (not scanned via the QR code) and the miles ended up posting. I'm sure this is a YMMV situation, but something could definitely happen.

I just registered and got this same message.
And I've not flown into, out of or through LAX in the last few months.
We'll see if any miles post to my account.

Someone posted above that they did get miles without scanning the QR code.
