Come on Delta
Well Delta has about 24 hours to announce something or I need to book United for about a half dozen trips that just fell in my lap for next month.

Still if they do hold firm I have to give them credit for taking a longer term view. They are probably going to lose some short term share to AA/UA over this.

While I agree with the probable outcome I imagine its more because DL mgmt doesn't want to match. In my experience with most companies senior mgmt is so disconnected from execution logistics that they simply say "just get it done quick and cheap and don't bother me with the details."

AA is facing tough times, maybe DL feels confident right now. These promotions are to bring business. Nothing more.

I hope DL does match the AA promo. I believe that it would increase the number of flyers for Delta. Many here would spend more money to ensure their status and feed their addiction. I know I would!

I would like it just for all the bonus miles. Every 25k MQMs I fly earn me another 25k bonus, from perks thing.

How exactly would another DMQM promo impact you rolling over MQMs? All DL promos require one to sign up.
Skip the sign up and you need not worry. You'd remain "good" at PM and still roll over 40k plus MQMs.

Next year with my rollover plus some spending on my CC I'll get PLT again with a single transcon.

Does anyone recall if the spring D/TMQM promo had a 'must buy your ticket between' term? Or were tickets bought anytime good as long as flown during the promo? I have some travel that I'd really like to book today, but would hold off, I guess. Seems like a match is rather unlikely at this point, though.

Right. We had to register, too. But I can't recall if we had to buy our tickets after the promotion began in order to be eligible. I'll dig around and see if I can find the old terms.
