SAA / Delta / UA Update & FF Miles

Just received the following:

IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR SAA

FREQUENT FLYER INFORMATION

SAA has changed partnerships from Delta to United.

Delta members can EARN miles only through March 31, 2006.

Delta members can redeem their miles through September 2006 for travel through September 2007.

United Mileage Plus members can earn miles NOW on SAA flights (To sign up call 1-800-421-4655 or www.united.com)

United members CANNOT redeem miles until after SAA makes the announcement that the integration into the STAR Alliance is complete.

SAA VOYAGER MEMBERS CAN CONTINUE TO EARN MILES

NEW TERMINAL INFORMATION

SAA moves NY terminal to terminal 4

As of March 7, daily service JFK to SA moves from Terminal 3 to Terminal 4

"Delta members can redeem their miles through September 2006 for travel through September 2007."

Thanks for that. I'll likely book one more SAA ticket using my Delta SkyMiles for a trip next Summer.

I'm traveling June 06 on Delta/SAA. Does this mean the only miles I can get for flying is on SAA? (If I'm reading correctly, I can't get Delta miles and can't get United miles)

sundowner,
It sounds like you can earn UA MP miles for SAA flights (you just can't redeem yet).
