Delta Skymiles 1k Promo

In this case, “new” refers to a participating partner that the member has not earned miles with between March 24, 2016 and March 23, 2017.
This offer is valid for all SkyMiles members (except those in the Asia Pacific region) and miles can be earned through booking hotels or rental cars with partners, dining at participating restaurants or even making purchases through SkyMiles shopping. These are the different partner categories listed:

Delta 1k Partners
Note that according to the terms, you can only earn the 1,000 bonus miles with each partner one time. For instance, SkyMiles shopping counts as 1 partner. If you make a purchase through Delta SkySMiles Shopping for the first time since before March 24th, 2016 you will earn 1,000 miles. You would not earn additional additional blocks of bonus miles for shopping at multiple merchants based on my reading of the following terms (bolded section in Eligibility is my emphasis):
