Keep in mind that free items, or $0.99 cent purchases will not earn you miles at most places and thus not count as a unique activity. I did a purchase at shutter fly on this promo last year. My purchase was for $0.99. I did not earn any miles because I did not spend one complete $1. It states earn $1 per $1 spent. If you don't spend that $1, no miles. No miles on taxes or shipping is correct also. YMMV

correct, I've had both happen too. it is vendor specific. but in the spirit of this promo, I'd want to make sure my purchase counts and not take the chance.

Could DL just put a few more of those up for auction instead of charging extra for baggage?

It appears to me that by simply signing up with Shutterfly, which offers a 250 mile enrollment bonus, should qualify by that act alone, a purchase is not necessary.

~"Earn 10 miles for every dollar spent plus 100 bonus miles on each order" --
http://www.delta.flowerclub.com/
~ 25% off promo code (9CM25) -- doesn't apply to the S&H tho. Code valid till May 9th
So far, I do NOT see a 'gift' section at their site. That would make the cheapest option a flower arrangement for $29.99 plus delivery. The 25% off and extra miles make it good IF you were going to send Mother's Day flowers anyway. My total is going to be $38.70 for flowers to Mom http://www.delta.flowerclub.com/

I believe that the T&C of the Shutterfly offer require a purchase in order to get the 250 mile new customer bonus.

your sign up bonus should work. i believe i used that as an activity a couple years ago for a similar promo.
also, i've converted 30 US miles to 1 DL mile via points.com for this promo in the past and that counted, so if 1 mile works, the sign up bonus sure should.

As I posted earlier in this thread, if you have a Hotspex.com account, the transfer rate through Points.com is only 5 Hotspex points to 1 DL mile. That alone makes it worthwhile.

More discounts on flowers for Mother's Day
On this note, there are two more promos to make TELEFLORA attractive --

I asked DL about "Buy, Gift, or Transfer miles". Response:
Question answered.
I asked DL about Identity Guard. Response:
The wording of their response still confuses me. I don't consider this question answered.
The word "or" would indeed indicate that only one of these transactions, even if all three are completed, would earn the bonus miles.
I asked DL about Identity Guard. Response:
Participation with Identity Guard would count as a unique activity along with other unique activities within the Dining, Retail & Other Partners grouping.

So I'm trying to get a rough idea of what I should spend at partners to qualify.
For example, I'm looking at biscoff.com. Since this isn't through the mall portal (right?) I think it counts as a discrete site.
Cheapest item I can find is $6.78, plus $7.95 shipping. That's $14.73, for, potentially, 1000 miles, plus a 250 mile bonus, plus my 14 miles.
So $14.73 for (potentially) 1264 miles. Doesn't seem like an amazing move to me.

But let's say you already have 14 other unique partners. Would it be worth spending $14.73 to get an additional 8,264 miles? Most would probably say "yes."
That's why it's so important to look at the triggering thresholds. I'm no better off for using 14 different unique partners than I am for using 8 in this promo.
P.S. The only caveat to this is if you are unsure how or when a particular partner will post. In those cases, it doesn't hurt to have one extra partner, so that if one doesn't go through as expected, you have another partner to take its place.
