Insider info?

Perhaps someone with insider info could advise us on how Delta chooses who to send these types of emails to?

So if i have a flight booked for tomorrow and signed up for the promo today... can i go to the airport and do a same day change to an earlier flight pay my 50 bucks and get double MQMs? I am likely to do this anyways...Anybody have any ideas? I would call delta but im guessing they wouldnt know or just tell me to stop scamming the system.

You can't! You have to keep it same exact date for your birthday. Because DL won't let you registered online more MQM this time. Sorry!

How did you set your birthday online? The birthday profile field appears to be free form. Whenever I enter a value and save (regardless of whether or not it's a valid full date, valid day and month only, or random text), I get a message saying that the value was succcessfully saved, but the value entered disappears from the screen.

Has anyone seen miles post from this? Mine are not and im not sure if i just need to wait till the end of the promo. Is there any way to tell if I will actually get credit with this promo?

Stupid Question - Birthday Promotion

I'm booking a flight using the birthday promotion. If I book using NWA flights, I'm assuming I *don't* get the double MQMs... it has to be an actual flight operated by DL, correct?

I'm confused....or is this a trick question?

Birthday promotion? If you are referring to the promotion for double medallion qualification miles...

Enroll and purchase tickets on delta.com between March 31 - April 30, 2008.
Travel on flights dated March 31, 2008 - June 30, 2008....

you missed the boat.

But to answer your question, no you wouldn't get credit for a NW flight.

There was a separate promotion for people who's birthday's fall around now for double MQMs on flights within certain dates.

To the OP: I didn't get the email, so I can't check the Ts&Cs, but I would assume no. If the rules are the same as the "regular" double MQM promo, it has to be a DL coded flight. So, if you find a NW-DL codeshare, by the DL code. Otherwise, no dice.
