Ironically my AMEX credit card statement closed on Nov 13...does that mean that the miles that posted on the 14th automatically count? or does it mean that whatever I spend between Nov 13 and end of promo are what counts. Is it the actual spending date or the actual posting date that counts?
This seems similar to NW promos where there are different thresholds to cross.

Since I'm coming from NW, would the initial bonus miles received for signing up for the skymiles card count as part of the basis for this promo?

Maybe the same theme, but way more generous and easy.

It appears AMEX Membership Rewards point transfers are not eligible.

I can't see an indication of when the bonus will post. I'd guess 6-8 weeks after the promo, but I can't see it in the T&Cs.

Rather generous promo.
Where one can find the complete SkyMiles redemption chart? The one that was on Delta.com was only for trips originating in North America. I was looking for intra-Africa etc redemption charts.

Does anyone know how the additional 5,000 Starwood points on a 20,000 ponit transfer post to your account, base or bonus? I'd look in my account history, but I haven't done one of these in a long time.

20,000 SPG transfers as 25,000 DL. The 25,000 DL miles are one lump sum.

I believe that it isn't DL that is giving you the bonus, it is SPG that gives you the bonus. In other words, I think SPG only tells DL that they are buying 25k miles, not that you are spending 20k SPG points.
To that end, I would think (but not want to bet) that you would get the bonus miles on the full 25k.

Too bad the Budget promo is over/blown up as those 7,500 miles each were posting in the base column! Would have had another 147K in miles then!
Makes DC transfers very attractive - 20K points will get you 54K miles (20 normal + 4 dc bonus (25% DC transfer bonus) + 30 for this promo (20 * 150%).
