Nonsense. I know this is hard to believe, but this is NOT a mistake fare. DL is well aware of what it's doing here.
And you can still go to Delta.com and book away at the sub $600 price from just about anywhere.

Yeah, like me pointing out what they tell me would alert them? Right. 
Anyways, the fare isn't gone. I just priced it out again. It's still $579. Don't mistake the fare being sold out for a particular route with the fare being gone. You know that planes don't have an infinite number of seats right?

If they're lurking, then they know from post #1 that the fare is out there and what's causing it, long before a FT'er identifies what's causing it.

I think this one is gone, Still shows 580, but when you put your CC in it says sorry, fare has changed to 1100.

I stand corrected. It keeps repricing out of SFO, but I booked OAK-SLC-LAX-HND outbound, and HND-LAX-SFO return for 591, AI, so the deal is not dead.
Dates are 6/17 outbound, 6/20 return

I think that's only because one of your connecting flights is sold out in T class. People reported that happening even last night. Try a different date or route.

I may be wrong but I believe the double miles for your Skymiles CC is double the fare price i.e. if you paid $590 for the flight, you'll get 1180 miles.

You knew what? As reported by the other poster who correct himself, it's not dead. It's just that it's sold out on certain flights for certain days. That happens. I did mention that flights don't have infinite seats before right? Have you ever booked a plane ticket?
