What is better for Delta, giving the 500 mile bonus or paying fees charged by on line booking sites? The 500 miles bonus has often been the decision point between booking with an agency and booking with Delta.

You’re missing something: we should get the bonus miles for booking on delta.com OR nwa.com. The current promo is for Skymiles members booking on delta.com or WorldPerks members booking on nwa.com. It should be bonus miles for either site! (NWA’s website booking engine works better…you usually get different results on each site, so I sometimes have to use one of them specifically.)

The Dash to the Gate I think was the promo where they gave you 10,000 miles just for answering 10 questions that were so easy.

I like the Birthday Gift promo, double miles for any trip you book during your birthday month. However it’s been 2 months since my birthday and my trip and I haven’t been credited.

I remember the 500 mile bonus from a few years ago. It was my first flight on Delta again since 2004. Flew LGA-DCA-LGA on the Shuttle (first time on a MDD aircraft since 98! Boy did I miss it!). Great service!

What was Dash to the Gate?

For a retro promotion, I’ll admit that I’d love to see Dash to the Gate from December 2004 return – I can’t think of a promo that ever rivaled that one.

Though great news to see the online booking bonus back!

I think it is the other way today because once Delta started to outsource call facilities…people did not want to deal with the accents and hard to understand agents and just booked online. I am glad to see it back!
