FOR PRICELINE RESERVATIONS WITH BOOKING FAILURE
Call Priceline 1800-259-2091 dial 3 and then 1 and ask for the contract receipt.
Then fax the contract to Delta with your name, email and phone number to 1801-575-3000
UPDATE: It is no longer necessary to fax in anything to Delta. Just call Delta direct, with the priceline conf number, ask for a supervisor, and they are honoring all tickets! ;D

I upgraded one way of my upcoming trip with miles. I've never done that before. Will I still only earn as many miles as if I was sitting in coach?

Of course.
Save your time, I don't answer PM. Post it in the forum and a dedicated DDF'er will get back to you as soon as possible.

Of course.

I thought so and usually credit my segments all to the same place. Last time I asked a Delta rep to change my outbound trip and put in my Delta number instead of Alaska and she said she could but that I wouldn't be able to change it on the way back so I ended up leaving it. Is she wrong?

I'd credit them to Alaska then. And no you can't combine them.

if i never really fly does it really make a difference where i credit my miles to
i probably wont end up using them anyway
do they expire if they are skymiles?
i have class p and t
Skymiles never expire, so if you don't plan on flying in the near future and you don't anticipate earining non flown miles with skyteam members you may be best off with DL.

I just called Delta about doing a same day change for my flight on Monday. has anyone had success doing a same day change on one of these "glitch" tickets. It seemed from what the CR was saying that I might not be able to change my flight time.
If I have this issue should I HUCA HUCA HUCA?

You can do a same day change for $50. Just need to have availability in the same fare class.

When they called to confirm my priceline glitch they let me change the flight time on the same day without any charge

Then why are they giving me such a problem. Is it because I didnt have to call them to get my flight confirmed I was confirmed right away?
If not can you please tell me how you did it so that I can take care of this before the last second.
Thank You
