I have not merged my accounts, but it would not hurt to ask. The union asking the company to ask Delta seems an appropriate way to find out.
If we don't get delta miles I will be happy switching over to AA next year. |
We do get miles on UAL. There was a UAL customer service rep in AOC a few years ago signing us up for their frequent flier program .

Lag,
Do what you want to do. I don't think I'd do anything that is questionable right now. I also remember seeing emails forbidding us to accrue ff miles on carriers other than NWA (now AA and United). While it seems trivial, it appears that management is pursuing trivial matters. I do agree that the union should talk to the company about this. FF miles are a good deal for us and I have enjoyed elite status for years. |

I believe the only time we don't get FF credit is if FDX has some deal with the airline to purchase tickets at a discount. If there is no discount, as in Deltas case, then we get FF credit.

FYI, Global travel has my DL skymiles number on file and I have been getting FF miles on Delta on my DHs for years (ever since FDX lost the discount they had with Delta five years ago or so). Global travel pays the same ticket price we would pay on the internet or on the Delta website so there is no reason we would not get FF credit.

I asked someone at Global Travel this question a few weeks back and they said they were pretty sure we could get the miles on Delta since the NWA/DAL merger went through. I don't know on what authority this comment was made, but I would feel more comfortable knowing the message came from someone who wouldn't punish us if we did wrong.
On a side note, I knew someone who commuted from the Houston area and used Continental for most of their travel. They would attach their NWA FF number to the ticket since CAL has a code share with NWA. I'm thinking that since it wasn't a NWA ticket they can't do this. Anyone know if this is legit? |

Yes. it's legal. Been doing this very thing on Alaska, and other NW code-shares with NW miles for years. Northwest Elite services and Corp Travel have no problems with us doing this.

The CAL slash NW code share and miles ends soon doesn't it?
