500 SkyMiles With a Quote from Vehicles Online
I thought this was only through AA and UA (I've done it with both in the past) but I came across this link tonight:
www.skymilesautobuying.com
Same fine print as with the other carriers:
Earn 500 Delta Air Lines SkyMiles when you receive a quote on a new vehicle from over 2,800 participating new car dealers nationwide. Limited to one quote per member per month.

anyone get any Delta miles yet?? did this around 11/26 and again in December on two seperate accounts, and nothing posted yet (even answered the e-mail survey). for the other airlines (AA and UA), they generally post faster.

Still nothing on my statement. When I did this with AA, the points always posted 30 days later. Has anyone seen them as of today?

As soon as I hear something, I'll post it.

With UA, I find it posts after about a month.
A couple of neat things --
1. Even though (w/ UA) it says you can only earn every 6 months, it actually seems to post every month. In other words, I fill out the form anyway, it says I won't get miles, but I actually do.
2. There's no conflict doing UA and DL. I've now done UA and DL in the same month, and it doesn't return the "you can only earn this award every x often" message.
Nice!

I emailed twice about the miles. At first they said they were going to post them (based on an email from Vehicles Online that said they sent them over to Delta), and when they did not, I sent a follow up. Here is the response:

fscher I went to www.register.com and did a "WHOIS" on www.skymilesautobuying.com and e-mailed the "Admin./Billing Contact"- this is what I got: (he replied within 20 minutes)
Russ,
Our company, Member services, Inc., has an agreement with Delta through
the SkyRewards Program. We submit the miles generated by our "quote"
offer through Vehicles OnLine, on a monthly basis to the SkyRewards department.
If you have any additional questions, you can reach me by return email
or at the number below.
So there is a partnership through SkyRewards, not SkyMiles; so there is hope.
