Would now be a good time for the Delta lurker to come around and answer a few questions about all this?
Personally, I like "winterchoice" "winteropions" and "winterselect" the best (even though I don't qualify)
How in the world did you find these ? What kind of search did you use ? Can you use boolean in the Delta sky miles search form ?

Try this. I bet it will work on every offer. Whether the offers actually come to fruition - well, that remains to be seen....</font>

I was able to register myself for only one and my wife for a different one out of the total group. I wonder if each of us will get something in the mail, as one FTer above did, in the near future inviting us to sign up for these respective promos. Interestingly, when I went back and tried to register each of us again for the same promo we'd been accepted for previously it said we were not eligible. Which registration attempt should we believe? I don't think I'd bet a lot of money that either of us will ever see anything from either promo.

Well, how do you think I feel? I was accepted by NONE of them! And I tried my five immediate family members in the better ones, and they weren't accepted, either! Eventually, I'll try all six of us in all 25 promotions, but so far, zero acceptances.

Maybe you too should join me in the "only 1 paid Delta Shuttle flight segment year-to-date and other than that I am flying Delta using my Delta miles for free travel or flying on paid travel with other carriers, principally OneWorld members" category.
Thanks to you, I found out that I qualified for 3 promotions that overlap. Namely, the fly 2k, 4k, and 8k MQMs for your choice of A,B,C, or D. Strange thing is if I fly 8k, I wonder if I get 3 promotion choices or not.
By the way, I never get a targeted promotion from anyone. Either that or I don't check my mail and e-mail myself well enough. I do however avail myself to many FT-suggested promotions in the past.

From which window to you select "back?" I don't even have that option.

Right-click on the window (after you get rejected), and you'll get a "back" choice. You may have to try it a couple of times.

The best that will happen is we all benefit.
One cannot succeed without at least trying.

Out of curiousity - those that got targeted for these promotions, have you been flying as much as you did last year? I also received an envelope last night in the mail. It was for the 8K, free RT promotion.
Last year by mid February, I had already flown 21,000 base miles with DL. This year, I have 1000 MQM, from one RT to FL. And it's not due to lack of flying by any means, I have simply chosen other airlines. I have probably flown about 12,000 so far, but will be taking another intl trip in March, so that puts me at around 22,000 so far this year. I was just wondering if this was the experience of other FTers who got "targeted".

I'm flying less, but not a lot less (12979 MQMs year-to-date). I also have a handful of future trips ticketed already (one is award tickets, however). I have lots of future trips ticketed on United, with more to come.

I am around 16000 MQM and have a trip to London on the way on an (M) fare. I am eligible for the certificate promotion.

While I appreciate those who thanked me for the "try again" suggestion to become eligible for the aforementioned SkyMiles benefits, it was not my idea at all.
Brendan deserves all the credit, as Brendan first enlightened me of this technique in this thread. I merely refined Brendan's idea for better clarity.
So thank you again, Brendan!
