I went in today - just filled in the online form yesterday, said I needed a Friday noon appointment, and got one! Very professionally handled from start to finish. I created my own line for how I was referred "Delta Promo -
#2*********". The rep was much more professional than I imagined I'd find for this kind of enterprise and the office was lovely.
Because my mother does have significant hair thinning and I'm starting to notice a bit also, it was actually quite informative and not at all hard-sell. The price, of course, is pretty high, but not any more than other cosmetic procedures and I found the "last-minute" option, which saves you about 40% off of the regular fee to be an interesting choice. If I were to fill in an empty appointment in the next two weeks, the cost would go from approx. $9000 to about $5500. That's obviously the way to go if you can do things more last minute.
In and out in 30 minutes. Can't wait to start hearing about when the miles hit for everyone...

Bosley Seattle = Good People
Went to the Bosley office in Seattle today (after a brisk walk from the ferry terminal) and spoke with one of their salesmen. Didn't get the guy's name, but he was very professional and polite (he was temporarily working in SEA; normally he works in SFO).
He DID mention the DL promo right away and asked me if that was the primary reason I had stopped by - I told him that I had heard about it on a website (this one) and other people (you folks) told me good things about Bosley. I was able to keep the subject far away from the promo for most of the consultation - it helps that I am losing my hair on the top of my head. I did ask a lot of questions and expressed genuine interest in the procedure. I was asked a few brief questions about my medical history, but nothing detailed.
Heck, I'd do it if I could afford to throw 9K at Bosley, and the extra miles would be a great bonus. I kept the guy happy by mentioning I would be receiving a substantial bonus in the near future that I could spend on the procedure, but I didn't know exactly when I would get it (this is true). I'm more likely to invest it, though
I mentioned the promo again on the way out and the salesman checked my account to verify my Skymiles number was present, and it was.
Everyone at Bosley in SEA was very friendly and I was treated as a valued customer.^ (Again, it helps that I am actually balding). If I had the money to spend on the procedure, I'd certainly consider it. In the meantime, if I do get 20K Skymiles out of this, it's a great deal for a few bucks in gas, $3 for parking, and a $6.70 ferry ticket on a beautiful day in the Pacific Northwest.

So spending $100 on 20k Delta miles (assuming Delta sold them the miles at 0.5c each, which might or might not be right...) to reel in each person would be chump change. If they can afford such fancy offices, given how expensive their procedures are, they must be raking in profits.

Just got back from mine in DC. In-and-out within 10 minutes. When we started, the guy asked what my concerns/questions are, and I said, "well to be honest with you, I'm here for the Delta promotion..have you heard about it?" He shook his head as if everyone coming in for a consultation was there just for the miles, ha. I kinda felt bad for the guys (I'm 23, no hair loss). He asked me that I would just refer any prospective customers his way, which of course is the least I could do for 20k free miles. I asked him how the miles thing works, and he said that since I've already provided my number when I signed up for the consultation, he'll just go into the system and mark that I showed up for the consultation. So we'll see if they post.
If these miles don't post, I will be so mad I would pull my hair out!!! (pun intended)

I just received a survey from bosley on how my procedure went and if I would recommend anyone else. Have you received this?

I received and completed this last night (after removing it from my spam folder) - I took screen captures as well as more documentation of my consultation.

Same here. Filled out the survey and related how abrupt the dr. was. But as long as I get the miles, who cares.

My husband and I (who have different last names) booked back-to-back appointments. We were allowed to combine our appointment, so in & out in 20 min, and 40k miles richer! The sales rep never asked if we were married, coworkers, etc. Useful info for future reference.

Had my appt a few weeks ago in AUS. Nice view from building. Ditto to most everyone's comments on pleasant and low-pressure presentation. A bit concerned as sales guy wasn't familiar with the promotion. He wrote my SM# down on a sticky note. Waiting game now.
Received and completed the email survey a few days ago.
