August 10
While announced awhile back, the following 2 Delta Airlines Promotions are approaching their “book by/travel by” dates.
The first is Triple MQM’s (Medallion Qualification Miles) on Delta “shuttle” flights between New York LaGuardia (LGA) and Boston (BOS), Chicago (ORD) and Washington DC (DCA).
Why is this promotion significant?
MQM’s are the miles that count towards Elite Status. The most frequent airline mileage promotions consumers see only count towards “regular” redeemable mileage balances, although passengers will earn triple regular miles as well with this shuttle promotion. With this promo, one can earn almost the same number of MQM’s on a round-trip LGA-ORD flight as a round-trip LGA-LAX flight! Register, book and fly by August 31, 2010!

The second Delta Promotion includes no MQM’s, but does offer triple redeemable mileage (regular miles) on Delta’s new international routes such as Detroit to Hong Kong. In order to earn triple miles, flyers need to book a business class fare, otherwise they will receive double miles. For example: Normally, a non-elite Delta flyer would earn 15,700 miles round-trip from DTW-HKG. Register for the promo, fly on a coach fare (saw a mid Sept. fare for $981) by September 30 and that flight will net you over 31,000 miles. There is a lot of fine print HERE, but it all makes complete sense. There are also a lot more city pairs listed. Again, book and fly by September 30, 2010.
