I could sort of understand it if I had booked a trip but not yet taken it, but I didn't register until a few days after the entire trip had been completed. I'm wondering if they've totally lost the date that people registered.

I can't see much to complain about in this promotion. Awarding preferred miles 1) retroactively, 2) for flights in both directions, and 3) to those who were not targeted but signed up anyway (thanks to FlyerTalk) is generous.

Despite the vagaries in the program, there are many happy DM members and a few more preferred members for 2007. Should make upgrades even scarcer, but that's another thread.

I'm not saying it's not generous - I just wish I felt that it was intentional.

This promotion is a roller coaster...

I was not targeted, but registered anyway knowing that I will have 3-6 phx-yyz round-trips... would certainly eliminate the need for an eoy mr/ftd run.

first it sounds like only targeted are going to get them...

then others get them...

then others get them taken away...

then other get them put back but better than ever...

the first of my phx-yyz's was today, so i'll keep ft up to date on whether i score the pqm bonus.

I've had an oddity in getting the double PQM credit.

I a round trip from PHL to TPA which qualifies for the PQM bonus. The flight out was PHL-TPA, but the flight back was TPA-DCA-PHL. I got credit for the PHL-TPA 920 bonus PQM and the DCA-PHL seqment for 500 bonus PQM, but was not credited the 814 PQM bonus for the TPA-DCA seqment.

Should I call in about this, or just wait and see if it posts. I took this flight about 1.5 weeks ago.

I thought it was the endpoints that mattered, so as long as they were connecting flights you'd get credit for the whole trip. Is that not the case?

Nope. I spoke with the CP desk and they checked with the DMSC. Only double miles between the city pairs. Technically speaking the promo says O&D, but I guess the US computer system can't handle that....

Agreed... I'm running for extra segments so RDU-PHL via CLT is the name of the game. No double miles, but I think I come out ahead or even anyway, plus extra segments.

Now, If I find the (*&@R#(*@ who turned the Krispy Kreme into a freaking Cinnabon, there will be a problem!

I believe this promo was intended as O&D only, but I have had several trips where I received the bonus PQMs where the trip was A-B-C and A-B received the PQMs despite the trip really being from A-C with a connection in B. In your example above you should receive the PQMs for PHX-PHL segment.

I just completed a PHL-PHX run on Tuesday. My miles have posted but the site says nothing about bonus Q miles yet. How long does it take? My apologies if this was already answered...
