Must not be highly targeted, as I was able to register, no problem. Didn't get the email.
Unlikely I'll get an RT to any of these cities originating in CVG. Hopefully, this promo, like so may others, will be glitchy and simply activity to/thru CVG will trigger.

Yeah - might end up working like the Atlanta double miles promo last fall. If you are going say LAX-CVG-XXX-CVG-LAX you may get it on the LAX-CVG segments.

"Thanks. You're all set.
Now that you've registered, take a look around and see all the great places we can take you."
Yeah, probably not targeted if I can register successfully.

I figured it's about $730ai to do (5) CVG-BWI Sat-stay turns, to earn 5000 EQMs, and 30000 RDMs (base + bonus). That's $0.0243/RDM, yet $0.146/EQM. It gets better if you can toss in Gold/Plat 100% RDM bonuses. Sounds like a great deal... if you're already flying the routes.
Does DL offer something equivalent to NW SuperSize?

Leave it to a FlyerTalker to make it complicated.
Does the entire roundtrip have to be flown during the promo period? I am now registered and I have an already purchased ticket that I am flying the return portion of it tomorrow from DFW-CVG. Then at the end of the promo period, I am flying the outbound portion of a CVG-DFW on May 10th but don't return until the period is over. I will assume that those won't count and if they do I will just take the extra. I have 3 other CVG-DFW trips between those that definitely should count. One already purchased and 2 more purchased today. I don't think any of the other destinations are on my list for the coming couple of months.

Arrgh... earlier this week I was looking at fares to LGA to meet LH for the *A Airbus do and passed over a 156$ DL fare via CVG to go direct on NW for 226$.
I guess the promo runs till May 12, so there is still some time for creative thinking

I don't think that will be the case. I don't think it is targeting the connecting people, but rather people who are coming to Cincy, or going out of Cincy to increase the business in CVG along with last week's decent price drop.

I agree 100%. They are trying to get people in the habit of at least looking at CVG for fares instead of turning to SDF, DAY, IND, CMH, LEX first.

The Kansas City flight at the gate next to mine yesterday morning was oversold. For some reason, lots of people wanted to go there on a Monday morning.
Met a lovely woman on the flight and told her about this offer. She never flies from CVG for personal travel (says that 90% of the time, she ends up going to IND) but does for work, so this will come in handy for her. Matter of fact, a shame she didn't know about this earlier because she was flying CVG-ATL last night!
