I am a new skymiles member and just finished two business class DL long haul segments and didnt know about this double and triple MQM promos (should have read this thread sooner), Couple questions: 1. Does anyone have a link to the promo site? 2. Will Delta still credit me with the promo miles after the flights have been taken?
Many thanks in advance!

Now I need to call Skymiles to see if they can credit me the miles (website states it takes about 6 to 8 weeks before mileage is posted).

As to the OP. Despite the conspiracy theories, I think it is a very, very safe bet that 75k will earn you Plat through 2010. Who knows beyond that, but for 2010, I think the risk is about 0.0000000001% that 75k during 2009 won't qualify. More importantly, I don't see much benefit for MVPG over even DL Gold anyway. Unless you fly an even mix of AA and the elite-earning ST partners, such that you can get MVPG but only Silver elsewhere, or really want to consolidate your AA and BA TATL flights, I don't see why you would keep it at the exclusion of DL Gold. The checked bag fee waivers and upgrades ex-JFK should be enough reason to go DL.

New level
In the May 2009 Delta on-board magazine, it says that a new fourth Medallion tier (above PM) will be announced in the next two months. Tier will start in 2010.

One thing DL did already was take away NW Plat 125% bonus miles and instead offer $100%

called skymiles cs looking to get confirmation that triple miles will get credited to my account. Unfortunately she said the promo applies only to pax flying on DL or NW metal and not on any code shared flights (i.e. DL/KE)........damn!
