There's a big difference between scheduling a quasi-legitimate (e.g. I am losing my hair) consultation for 20K miles and having a probability > 0 of actually using their service. As long as I cut my hair twice a month, no one's the wiser, plus I declared years ago that I would just cut it all off when (if) I lost all the hair up top.

Information about the cost per graft can be found here:
http://www.battleagainstbald.com/bat...f_the_bos.html
It doesn't give the price per graft for the minimum 800 grafts for the promotion, but it does say that it is $9.50 per graft for 600 and $8.00 per for 1200, so with some extrapolation, you would be paying well over $7,000 to do the minimum 800 to get the 150k miles.

Or $0 - my time has some opportunity cost, but I can always schedule errands / projects - for 20,000 miles.

I just had my consultation. I am 23 and I have a completely full head of hair but they talked with me anyways. I said I had a family history of hair loss and was worried about losing my hair. He looked at my hairline, said he didn't think I had lost any hair yet and told me about some medicines to take to prevent hair loss. They were very professional and in fact they asked how I heard about them. I told him about the Delta promotion and he said it sounded like a good deal. The whole process took less than 10 minutes!!

So, you left with some type of receipt?
Did you ask about how you get the miles?
Are they supposed to "send the paperwork/notification in" for you like some of the car companies were doing for test drives for gift cards...still waiting for my Subaru gc after a test drive, the manager "took care of it"...no Subarus ever for me
Please post the details of the arrangement if any....or are you just mailing in or faxing your consultation "receipt"?
Thank you.

So now the greed in me comes out... What if you were to open a new SkyMiles account under a random name, get another free consult and pay to transfer the miles into your account. With the 25% bonus on transfers you can get 25000 miles for $230

I went to a consultation office...I really lucked out as the office was in downtown Columbia and I live in downtown Columbia. You may want to call ask about having a consultation in a surgical office, they are very helpful over the phone.

I just scheduled a consultation for Monday at their Troy, MI office. I'm not doing anything that day, so its effectively the cost of 4 gallons of gas to get there and back for 20K DL miles. I have a full head of hair too...this is going to be interesting.

Any idea how long it will take for the consultation miles to post?
