I think Delta is doing something similar here in the US. Recently a UPS pilot had some 80K miles deleted by a "Delta audit" where they claimed that since UPS is getting a discount on Delta we are not allowed to collect miles. Another guy who had purchased a ticket for his wife using his Delta miles received a pretty hostile letter from Delta saying he had 30 days to pay for his ticket or else since his miles were “not valid.”

This is what I heard from one of our captains just a few days ago and those incidents all happened within the last 6 months.
I'll do my best from now on to commercial on other airlines than Delta - no offense to Delta pilots but I cherish my miles and would hate to be audited by the Delta IRS.
