Question: 100,000 MILE DASH Promotion

I noticed that NW didnot credit me points for flights flow on this promotion but, have done that for Self-servive check in.

Is this common or do i need to call them.

Good luck with that...I have had no luck. I had an itinerary with 4 legs on NW/KLM with 1 leg on Air France. The AF flight was on a separate day from all other qualifying flights. No dice on any credit. I missed 60 points with that flight from Barcelona to Paris.

I'd submit a request for credit through their Talk To Us link on the nwa.com homepage.

If you're a Gold or Plat elite member, you might also fax in a request, which will usually get a faster and better response.

You didn't indicate what airline, route, flight, etc.

I've running 100% with 100,000 Dash, in regards to posting of checkin, purchase, etc. Then again, I've flown 100% NW metal, so that might have something to do with it. The only issue I've had is the same one everyone else had, with the splitting of the totals into two groups for a while.

These points are for the 100% NW flights.

I am having problems with points not posting. I emailed, they fixed part of the issue....I received response that all points are posted, which they have not. Perhaps, they are confused, as I had travels on 4/3, 4/4, 4/5 and they can't keep straight. I plan to call them later.

With similar programs in the past, if you had the miles on the other carrier posted to a different FF program than WP, the NW system would give you the promo credit, even if the other carrier's flight was purchased from NW on a NW ticket.

100,000 MILE DASH Promotion

So are any flyertalk members in the top 10 in the platinum, gold, silver and base race? Would be great if a flyertalk member wins!

I'm currently quite high in my category, but will be moving to another tier in a week, where I'll probably only land at #2. Hopefully #1 from that tier will go up a status level also =)

I'm missing a few nights of hotel credit just from them getting loaded in quite slowly - but other than that every single flight/checkin is in there. I check 12 times a day.

(obsession/sickness/ i'd really like to win)

Will be nice to find out if I'm competing against other FT'ers for top 3 in a few weeks - may keep us all from making last minute point runs just to win if we all agree to not fly for a week =)

Yes, even if it is NW Coded other carrier operated, it is invalid. The valid flight numbers are listed in the T&C.

I know how you feel. I missed 30 100,000 Mile Dash points from a LAX-DTW-LGW in B class. Since I also took a KLM flight from LHR-AMS within 24 hours, I guess don't get any points for this part of the trip.

But on the way home, I was on KL MAD-AMS within 24 hours of my NW LGW-DTW-LAX trip. I was credited 30 100,000 Mile Dash points for that part of the trip.

Now today I have a new issue. Just checked the 100k dash leader board - and my names not on it! even though the points I have should still have me in the top 10 for my tier...

...

I know, I know, it doesnt matter until the end, but I liked to see where I fell when they did the points snapshot

On a recent trip I used Alamo. How long in your experiences for them to post? Both W/P miles and Promopoints? Thanks Poppabear

I've had to request points three times for codeshares. Each time they quote me the rules, each time I point them to the eticket, and each time they relent and give me the points. For some reason NW 8xxx codeshare segments on KL metal are being automatically counted as KL non-shares until I ask NW to correct the entry.

For the record, here are the rules they quote: "For this promotion, qualifying travel (roundtrip or one-way) must be on a paid, published fare ticket on Northwest-operated flights 1-1999, Northwest codeshare flights 8200-8849 operated by KLM Royal Dutch Airlines or Northwest Airlink flights 2700-2799 and 3000-3699 operated by Mesaba or 2800-2999, 3700-3999, 4700-4799 and 5600-5999 operated by Pinnacle Airlines."

Although I am no competition for the top awards I am hoping for a small bonus in the dash.

I have read the rules but don't understand how a leg of my flight can have 2 booking classes:
On a flight reserved 8 months in advance:

CDG-DTW on NW booking class Y/V was entered into the dash credits as "V" (15 pts instead of 50). This hardly seems fair to me siince the rules state 'booking' class not 'paid' class.

Should I pursue this further (already refused by email once)?
