We'll see. I have three transcons booked (2 for work, 1 the MR I posted about above) and it would be absurd, albeit absurd, for be to get 2x for all of them.

Right, I'm an axx, and need to work on my reading comprehension lessons. Glad I didn't necessarily need these for status...

Nope, I had 3 trips in July, pretty sure at least 1 of them qualified because I bought the ticket in June, the other 2 I believe I purchased on July 1st. Anyway, Miles still haven't posted. I will wait to September 4th before I send an email.

Bday Promo

Does anyone have a link for this promo? My bday is approaching and I got a ton of MR to requalify this year. My company froze travel and I am trying to hold on to my status.

Thanks!

Birthday bonus miles- works on codeshares?

I just recieved the skymiles birthday bonus email. Fortunately it came at a good time as I have an extensive Asia trip for work in the next few weeks.

I have only 2 legs on DL proper, but I have a couple of legs on Korean Airlines. Will I get the bonus miles on those legs?

Thanks!

I cant find anything that will work for this promo. I saw some west coast runs, through ATL, available a few weeks ago, but now it seems like CO has taken over delta and every thing is going through Houston.

OK. Codeshares don't work... I assume ASA and Comair flights do?

Getting ready to book a 'mega' trip in Oct which was coming up at 6,400 MQMs. If I can get "double" then I have made Plat. (My birthday is 9/23 and I got this on Tuesday for those of you tracking!)

No B-day email, but the link worked

I did not receive the double miles invitation email (b-day 9/10), but used the link above and was able to register (thank you!). Does anyone know what the typical "book by/fly by" date range is?
