OK, now that we've all converted to the DL Skymiles AmEx we are being punished for booking on NWA.COM. As far as I can tell, the double miles for DL purchases only count on DL.COM.
Best-in-class!

An earlier post said this was due to expire last week. I just used it, one for business in my name and one personal for my wife.

I got a 40,000 miles offer that I passed on -- don't remember the exact terms but it required a high spend to get the additional set of bonus miles.
Well, a couple of days ago, I got a new, better, offer with an expiration date of 14 July 2009. It gives me 25,000 miles + 15,000 more miles after spending $1,000 in three months. I can do that spend easily. Plus, in the original offer, I got a companion ticket, whereas in this offer I got 2 SkyClub day passes, which I view as slightly more valuable, despite the fact that I do not drink. So I bit.
I do not know yet whether I have been approved, or for what credit limit. I have a Hilton credit card and a Fidelity Gold debit card. I applied online.
I have no plans to keep the card after the first year since I find Hilton points to be more valuable to me than SkyMiles. The only reason why I might consider keeping it would be so that I could access PayByMiles, but I doubt that feature is worth spending $95 per year to have.

Received this improved offer (25K +15K + 2 SC passeS) as well -- three minutes after receiving a reminder about the original offer to my SM account

I applied about a month ago, and so will anticipate mine in a month or two. Hopefully before an upcoming trip of mine though!

I asked on the DL board and got no response; maybe there's no way of knowing, but I'll try here.
My hope was built up when the first two parts of the bonus posted right away on issuance of the card and first billing date (bonus included on credit card statement). I reached $1000 in spending before the second billing date, but that bonus didn't post. Would I expect it on the next billing date? Or 8-12 weeks later?

They have blank spaces for name and SkyMiles #, but say "non-transferable," whatever practical meaning that has.

Did anyone catch the lingo where you can apply the $50 on the pass towards the purchase of an annual membership? Now, the question is, can you just claim one, or can you claim all 4 at $50 each for $200 off. I'm not looking towards membership, but I thought it would be of note to mention it for those who might be looking for a SkyClubs membership.

I thought I might finally apply for this (and keep for the first year at least) when the double miles promo came out. But it seems my 40k bonus offer has expired already and they don't tell you how many bonus miles you'll get for applying.
I do have an active offer for 30k bonus but from Delta only. Do both the NW and DL marketed offers work with the double miles promo if one is still earning through Worldperks?
There's no phone number or email I can find to ask these questions of the Amex marketing folks.
Debating whether to hold out for another 40k offer (they only offer one lifetime bonus for these devalued sky/wp miles, right?) or just forget about it, as I am a lot less enthusiastic about earning wp miles than I used to be.
