Could you please clarify what you received? Did you receive your normal MQMs at the time of the flight, and then another SINGLE MQM roundtrip just recently? So the two together make the DOUBLE MQM???

Still waiting...
For anyone else with a September birthday and a 10/31 cutoff date, have your bonus MQMs posted yet? Friday, December 12th (6 weeks from the end of promo) came and went without any activity for me. Yesterday, at the suggestion of SMS, I sent am email through delta.com and was very disappointed to receive a canned response basically restating the all of the original terms, telling me to wait four to six weeks, etc. Had the representative actually bothered to read my email, they would have seen I was well aware of the terms and well past the six week mark.

I didn't receive mine but I know i didn't meet the T and C, ie. I bought tickets prior to registration but flew during period....
I was hoping to get them, but never did. In hindsight doesn't matter and I easily crossed PM threshold. Didn't think I would so easily.

Just got my e-mail... and, yes, DL is in a less celebratory mood these days. 2X RDM and not 2X MQM. I guess they won't be providing a birthday cake either.
"Earn double bonus miles on your first Delta-marketed/operated round-trip flight purchased between December 18, 2008 and January 31, 2009 and flown between December 18, 2008 and February 28, 2009."
My next scheduled trip is RT to ATL... whopping 600+ miles each way.
Anyone tested to determine whether this is really applied as the first trip flown during the window (in my case 12/18 to 1/31)... or first trip after registering for the promo?
Also, does an allowable open-jaw itinerary (A to B then C to A) count as a round-trip?

you must be referring to the amazing $270 to DUB from SFO or WAS. i was thinking about this when i got my bday email yesterday, and how if i could have registered for the bday promo, then booked the DUB flight i'd end up with 36,456 rdm (with gm 2x) from one $270 flight...
