Delta GrandSlam Update

Its been a few months, since my last update on my Delta GrandSlam. (Please see this post for more on my Delta Grandslam).

Since I started this experiment, I have earned 10,728.

1 Flight to Atlanta - 6, 080 (5,000 Bonus Miles + 1,080 Real Miles)

The other miles were obtained by partner awards:

Super Shuttle: 550 (500 Bonus Miles + 50 Original Skymiles)
EReward Miles: 1000 (500 Bonus Miles + 500 Original Skymiles)
Dining Rewards: 1790 (500 Bonus Miles + 1,200 Dining Reward Bonus Miles + 90 Skymiles)
Best Buy Purchase: 510 (500 Bonus Miles + 10 Skymiles)
Transfer Points from Club Carlson: 750 (500 Bonus Miles + 250 Skymiles)
          – 2000 Club Carlson to 250 Skymiles

That is a total of 4600 miles.

Then there was the Partner Awards that did not earn points:

Points.com Transfer - 6 US Airways Miles to 1 Delta Mile
Thanks Again (4 times) - 47 miles

Both the Points.com Transfer and any of the Thanks Again purchase should have triggered the bonus. I don't know why they didn't trigger the bonus and I don't feel like fighting Delta on either of them.

I am far off my goal of earning 45,000 miles by the end of 2012. The reason for missing this goal is that I did not really put much effort into this promotion. I still have 8 months left to earn the miles.

Therefore, its time to get going....
