DL/NW should make the online booking bonus for bookings on both www.nwa.com AND www.delta.com .

For example, I'm a DL Skymiles Medallion member who booked a ticket on nwa.com for NW flights (I couldn't make the same combination work properly using delta.com). But since I didn't book on delta.com, I won't get the 500 bonus Skymiles.

chrisny2--you can book on NWA.com and earn WorldPerks miles for your NWA.com booking, which you can then transfer to your SkyMiles account (and the accounts will be merged soon anyway!)....you can also book most NWA flights at delta.com...thx--Josh

Yes, but then I wouldn't get my Delta Medallion bonus miles.

does anyone know when the bonus miles are supposed to post? from delta's T&C:
Terms & Conditions for bonus offer:

Promotional enrollment is not required. Earn 500 bonus miles for each flown round-trip (250 miles for each one-way) Delta or Northwest coded flight purchased at delta.com. Tickets must be purchased between April 28, 2009 and May 31, 2009 for travel anytime. Bonus applies only to the SkyMiles member flying and purchasing the qualifying ticket at delta.com.
the last time they had a bonus like this (purchasing flights with an amex card), i think they posted within a couple days, although i can't be sure.

Mystery (sort of) 9M DL.COM BK miles posting

I just had 750 miles post under the title "9M DL.COM BK". My best guess is this is the recently ended 500 miles per ticket booked online bonus, but then how is it not a multiple of 500? i don't remember the T&C's saying you only got half for a 1-way, but i'm pretty sure i booked a 1-way during that period so this is the most likely explanation. anyone have a better recollection of the T&C's?

Looks like I win the prize since I came in with 5500 bonus miles from this promotion.Thanks, Delta!

I think that maybe it is the BOOBY PRIZE for flying way too much!

I am grateful for these bonus miles so THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, Jeff and Company!

Actually it's all an underhanded scheme- They see you're already well past 2mm, so they want to give you lots of RDM's, get you to fly lots of award travel so you don't achieve 4mm. That way they'll save money by not giving you all those extra benefits.

9m dl.com bk

I searched and found thousands of results but none of them were about 9M DL.COM BK

I just checked my account and say 1500 bonus miles added to my account.

No idea why I am guessing its from the 500 miles for booking on delta.com but I am not 100% sure.
