Just Flew DL1970 Leg 1 ATL-TLPL. 737-900er. Got this msg when i landed in the PIREP about it not being eligible for skymiles. Why is this? What makes it not eligible?

I just came into the water cooler to see if anyone else had run into this/look for the medallion qualification requirements because I too had this happen: https://www.deltava.org/pirep.do?id=0x1a7d5c

Hi, I encountered the same issue https://www.deltava.org/pirep.do?id=0x1a6ed3
What are the qualification standards for Sky Miles?

Thanks for any feedback.

Guess all flights seems affected. I`m pretty sure Tech guys (Luke) will get it in no time. Cheers

Assuming it is a bug, fine

But what legs would not be eligible for skymiles? presumably that msg is there for a reason, right?

As far as I can tell, those filed without the use of ACARS are not eligible for mileage accrual.

There is an example: https://www.deltava.org/pirep.do?id=0x1a7dab

Hi Bruno,

Thanks for the ACARS info, I did use it. And it seems to be fixed. Thanks.

Very respectfully,
