Skybonus change
Skybonus is changing the way discounted economy fares are earned starting in August.
Also starting next January they are requiring that the companies have five fliers each year. Very disappointing for those of us from small companies and consulting work.

Sucks I agree, but this was announced a few weeks ago

How many really small companies will this allow Delta to boot out of a program marketed as benefiting small companies?
I guess they need to keep those seats available to generate more revenue so the company can up the employee bonuses again next year.

has anyone else noticed issues with trips NOT posting? I emailed Delta about it and they swear we are doing it wrong.
However, I noticed they updated the website and the location of SkyBonus took place right around the same time. So CS said we have to use the form to add all of our tickets, which total about 2-10 a day.
Today I started working the list and got this error message:
The following tickets were not processed as the maximum ticket limit has been exceeded for this month. [006230138xxxx, 006230112xxxx, 006230143xxxx, 006230164xxxx, 006230138xxxx, 006230142xxxx]
Anyone else notice this? (I was just surprised to see SO few points in our account... ) Our automatic postings stopped around the 19th of January and NOTHING until very recently, and only because we manually added the tickets AFTER booking (and after us double verifying we are putting in the SkyBonus #)

Interesting. I have not experienced this issue, but we had no flights in February and all of our January flights posted.
I was unaware of a limit on number of tickets. Has anyone else heard of this?

I have ruN into all sorts of issues with Skybonus it. It see,s to be even worse then regular delta it. Dollars not posting but the ticket posting. Then the agent Sylvianne telling me that they can't add dollars even if they were left off by mistake....

If someone calls to make a reservation, the flight will not get posted unless the caller volunteers the SkyBonus number.
Providing the Sky Miles number does not prompt the Sky Bonus number to be associated with the reservation, and the telephone agents are not trained to ask (or, alternatively, are trained not to ask
).

I am a bit confused by this note in the terms and conditions...seems like a loophole for Delta. I have booked several AF/KL tickets and tried to apply for SkyBonus credit. Of course, it is not crediting because of this:
"Tickets issued on Air France (“057), KLM (“074”) or Alitalia (“055”) may earn SkyBonus points if booked and ticketed in North America only." Of course, tickets issued in North America will ticket as 006, so that point is moot. And, of course, that reduces the mileage earning to dollars spent not mileage flown. Good one Delta, for, again, tricking your travelers.
Is there any way to book a 057/074 tickets issued in North America?

Huh. Last summer I got an AF ticket number for my flight from BCN to CDG (Incidentally, it ended up being canceled, and rerouted to AZ via FCO, on a 006 ticket reissued by the medallion desk because Air France was a disaster to try and work with.)
I suppose maybe it's impossible to get a ticket ex-US on anything but 006... Haven't tried that.
