If I'm a AU to a Dela card will I get free baggage as well?
Officially not. It's supposed to only be when the member whos Skymiles account is linked to the card is flying DL.

are you sure that works to trigger the $50 statement credit?

Is this a viable workaround?

Does anyone know for certain that this actually works?

Has anyone tried the $16 wifi to see if it triggers the credit? If not, I'll give it a shot and report back...

That's because the airline generally will process the charge, even when booked on 3rd party sites. Just note that this isn't necessarily the case for flight/hotel packages.

Does buying delta miles work for the $100 delta purchase credit?

sure, from the desktop site

But I don't see it worthwhile for someone to do such a thing, unless you need to transfer a few points to ‏book a specific flight.
