How can I tell if I made my reservations online or by phone?
I noticed that Delta is offering a 1000 mile bonus when you make your roundtrip reservation on-line. I made a reservation a month ago but I cannot remember how I did it.... I called Delta and they said I made it by phone.... but the more I think about it I remember picking my seats and entering my credit card number on line.....Is there some way I can verify how this reservation was made other than relying on a CSR.
Also... when does that 1000 mile bonus post...is it after the actual flight or their usual 8-12 week from the time of reservation.......

Sorry, I don't have the answer for your first question.
The online booking bonus posts (for me) about 2 weeks after the outbound flight.

Look at your receipt -- what you got mailed to you, or next time you fly give an agent your PNR (reservation #) and have them print it out, or call DL and have them email it to you -- near the top right corner it will say where it was issued (if it say something like "WWWRES" you're in luck, but if its "LAXRES" or "ATLRES" then you did it by phone).
The 1000 mile bonus also takes quite a while to post -- usually a couple weeks after you complete the entire itinerary.

MRW In my experience it has always been around 2 weeks after the outbound, not the entire itinerary.

Just a reminder that the 1000 bonus for boking online has been around for quite awhile. It is only in the last few days that they have once again posted it on their web site. It is a great way to easily pick up bonus miles. For those people who fly weekly, 50,000 bonus iles translates into 2 economy tickets on Delta. Cheap and painless!

Perfect... that is what I needed to know... the reservation does say "wwwres" at the top so I did do it on the internet as I thought...the flight isn't till April so I have a long wait before I see those miles.....

One little catch is that if you make a reservation via the website and then later call reservations to make any changes, ie. upgrades/seat changes/return flight changes etc, then the online booking bonus can be put in jeopardy.
