Earning DL mile points on "unpublished" fares

[SFCAcruiser]

For those of you who collect Delta Miles, please be aware.

Delta will be reducing the mileage points earned on unpublished fares as of September 2, 2012.

 

Examples of Unpublished fares include:

• Student fares
  
• Consolidator fares
  
• Flights included as part of a cruise package
  
• Discounted tour packages
  
• Group fares
  

Link to Delta announcement is here.I am not an active DL flyer, so I do not know any more than what is displayed on the Delta web page.

Gary Leff at View from The Wing has more discussion on the topic HERE.

 

Just one more reason to be skeptical of cruiseline provided air, IMO.

Couldn't agree more, Flyertalker. But, you will have to admit that the majority of the posters here aren't overly concerned about banking Delta pesos. They seem to be far more interested in disembarking at 8 and making an 8:30 flight from Rome.
