Starting the trip on thursday... I ordered a special meal, so maybe those are better??? I'm just glad to not be flying in Y, so will appreciate the extra space 
and maybe even a nap.

In reviewing my reservation, I just noticed that the fare basis code begins with "T", and not "I" as I thought! I am seated in business, and know that when I booked it on their website I selected Confort(I, D), not Clasica(T, etc.), a coach fare which was, of course, less expensive.
When I called AM for an explanation, the agent could only tell me that, indeed, I am seated in first/business class but the fare is a coach fare for which, according to DL, I'll earn only 100% MQMs, and not the 150% that I was counting on.
Has anyone else who booked one of these discount "J" fares in late August experienced this "conundrum?"

The flights did not post with Delta automatically for whatever reason, so make sure you save your boarding passes. Delta requests a copy of boarding passes and a copy of your booking confirmation/receipt to post partner flights -- to be safe, I would recommend submitting a form of receipt that does not list the full 6-character fare basis code, which could potentially put the MQM bonus at risk. I had booked the flights through Orbitz (because the particular connection I wanted didn't show on Aeromexico.com) and the receipt from Orbitz did the trick. (The boarding passes and single-letter fare class on my Orbitz receipt correctly showed the "effective" fare classes D and I, even though the first letters of the fare basis codes for my trip were some other coach fare class.)

Unfortunately, perhaps, and not too much before you posted this caveat, I faxed a copy of my eticket receipt to Delta which does, indeed, show the TRLUPI fare basis code. However, I also sent a copy of my Amex statement showing the fare as "I" class, and the boarding passes which also show this as well. So, we'll see...

I used the online mileage request form, and included copies of the boarding passes, which all showed I class. (YYZ-MEX-EZE-MEX-YYZ).
Posted 3 days later, with class and status bonuses: 19798 MQM, $3960 MQD, and 35635 RDM.

Just wondering why you only received $3960 MQD according to the chart for I class should have received 30% of miles flown for MQD which would = $5939 unless I am missing something?

MDQ would be on miles flown as you mention but your calculation appears to be on MQM which includes cabin bonus.

AM just started another sale to EZE from YYZ (not SCL).
This time, it's a bit more for $2000 CAD ($1600 USD). Still a good deal since the next cheapest is UA for more than $3200 USD, CM excluded since it's recliners all the way. Offer ends Jan 31st, same blackout dates around Easter just like their current Canada - Central America deal.

Without hijacking this thread too much, check it here
AM:YVR/YYZ/YUL-GUA J from $640 book by Jan 31st
Nothing special really, the only deal that I would consider mileage run worthy is YVR-PTY, AM just extended the deal until end of Jan.

When I shop for J fares from USA/Canada to deep South America or Europe, I immediately exclude all options from TS, CM, FI, and RV since I don't consider those as truly business class but as premium economy instead. As we speak, CM just matched AM's offer from YYZ to EZE for $1500 USD ($1850 CAD), to me it's not even worth it for mileage runs.

I've booked one of these already and considering another, but I'd like to visit another city. This is a question that's maybe beyond scope of just this deal but anyone have advice on turning this into an open jaw or adding segments without blowing up the price? I'm trying to fully grok the fare rules, but there's a lot of terminology I haven't gotten yet.
