All purchase on the Delta American Express earn double miles from June 1 through August 31.
Items that already earn double miles such as restaurant and US Post Office charges do not receive additional miles under this promotion, and the limit on earning additional miles from this offer is 20,000.
Bonus miles should post towards the end of October.
Registration is required by August 31.
Earthlink Voice is offering 25,000 Delta miles for internet phone service, a minimum commitment of six months would appear to be required to get the miles. They’re also offering 10,000 miles for using their high-speed internet.
(Hat tip to Free Frequent Flyer Miles.)
Update: Reader Alan reports that the fine print on the offer requires a 12-month commitment. So even though miles should post within six you’ll probably face a penalty for cancelling early if you want out before 12 months are up.
Delta American Express card holders should try this link.
There’s a targeted ‘renewal bonus’ of 7500 miles. It’s not clear who or how many personal cards are eligible. I would have expected folks who are coming up on their renewal date to be the ones targeted — get 7500 miles a couple months after your card renews — but according to Flyertalk even someone with a brand new card was eligible.
It’s a free 7500 miles if you’re able to successfully register your card.
American Express is offering a 20% bonus (up to 10,000 bonus miles) on spending with their Delta card from March 1 through April 30, 2006. Registration is required by April 30, and bonus miles should post eight to twelve weeks after that.
Randy Petersen reported some fascinating pieces of data about Delta frequent flyers:
…

I have miles in my accounts. And I’m known to fly occasionally. But I’m a nobody. Nothing. A gnat. No, not even a gnat. Gnats have wings and can fly.

Delta is considering dissolving its “low cost carrier-within-a-carrier” called Song.
The wisdom of these operations has always been questionable at best.
Delta used to offer a similar product to and around Florida. They resurrected the idea with Song, and expanded it to cross-country flights.
USAirways used to have Metrojet.
United had “Shuttle by United” on the West Coast. There’s still the occasional 737 in Shuttle by United colors (with less legroom and no ability to serve hot food) disappointing frequent travelers when they’re surprised at the gate. There’s the familiar joke about United’s current attempt, Ted, that it represents “the end of UniTED.”
Continental had Continental Lite.
It’s very hard to market two distinct products under the same brand. It’s hard to offer operational independence. And with different pay scales and work rules (the real appeal to the carriers themselves), they breed resentment within the workforce.
Southwest has a simple business model and it sticks to it. JetBlue, though with some trouble on the horizon, has been successful with its own simple business model.
Major carriers have a hard enough time figuring out how to make a single model work. Two at the same time has proven impossible, time and again.

While my favorite miles-for-flowers offer is FTD’s ongoing 30 United miles per dollar spent, it’s worth noting that FTD is also offering 25 Delta miles per dollar spent.
The Delta offer is a Mother’s Day promotion. The e-mail from Delta announcing the offer says it will expire May 15, but the webpage itself doesn’t seem to mention a deadline — and if experience is any guide, the offer may still work past the stated deadline.
Delta is offering Silver status for a single paid flight from any one of 14 cities:
Register and fly by July 15.
Via Tripso Daily, Delta is going to start turning over passenger data to the government. This time it’s not for security. They’re sending the information to the Centers for Disease Control so the government can track the whereabouts of passengers who have been exposed to illnesses.
Says one airline representative, “there are privacy concerns.” Gee, ya think?

The page has a live link to an offer for the Delta Business American Express, first year free with 12,500 bonus miles — though the page says the offer expired February 28th.

Note that you could also wait for a direct mail piece, which gets sent out pretty regularly to Skymiles members (though I don’t know which ones) offering the business card with 15,000 bonus miles at signup plus 5,000 miles for each of two additional fee-free cardholders.
