ATLANTA, Nov. 3, 2005 (PRIMEZONE) -- Delta Air Lines is offering its U.S. SkyMiles(r) customers the opportunity to enter the "Tickets for Life" sweepstakes for the chance to win a daily prize of 50,000 SkyMiles and the grand prize of 2.5 million miles -- enough miles to redeem up to two 25,000 SkySaver(tm) or one 50,000 SkyChoice(tm) award tickets every year for 50 years -- and $25,000 cash.
To register for the contest, members must visit delta.com/ticketsforlife and then purchase a roundtrip Delta ticket at the new delta.com by Dec. 15, 2005.
"This is a great way to thank our customers for their loyalty and reward several lucky SkyMiles members for online purchases at the new delta.com," said Paul Matsen, Delta's Chief Marketing Officer. "Whether customers are traveling on business or going home for the holidays, it's easier than ever and now more rewarding to book travel at delta.com."
At delta.com, there are no ticketing fees; 1,000 bonus miles for every flown roundtrip ticket purchase; Delta's lowest fares with a risk-free cancellation penalty on certain electronic tickets for 24 hours without penalty if they find lower fares anywhere else or if their travel plans change; the ability to calculate award mileage; more international award travel booking capability; the ability to check in when connecting from Delta to certain other airlines; and much more.
Here's how it works:
-- Customers must first enroll in the promotion by visiting
delta.com/ticketsforlife and providing their SkyMiles number.
Customers who are not already members of Delta's SkyMiles program
may sign up and enroll in the promotion at the same online
address.
-- One daily prize of 50,000 miles will be awarded each day between
Nov. 1, 2005, and Dec. 15, 2005. In order to be eligible for the
daily prize, the member must purchase a qualifying round-trip
ticket on the daily prize date. For example, to be eligible for
the daily prize on Nov. 5, 2005, the member must purchase a
qualifying ticket on that day.
-- One grand prize of 2.5 million miles and $25,000 cash will be
awarded to a lucky SkyMiles member in February 2006. All SkyMiles
members who purchase a qualifying ticket between Nov. 1, 2005,
and Dec. 15, 2005, and complete travel by Jan. 31, 2006, will be
entered into the drawing for the grand prize.
