Deals, Miles, Uncategorized,

I came across a great way to let out some of your frustration about airlines while earning some free miles yesterday while reading USA Today online.

In the article I learned that budget carrier Spirit Airlines is giving away up to one billion miles which comes to 8,000 miles per member. To earn the miles all you need to do is tell Spirit how much you hate flying with them or one of their competitors!

The promotion is being ran on a special website created just for it. Continue reading Airline Giving Away 1,000,000,000 Miles →

Back in May I wrote about a limited time offer that I received from CitiCards. With the offer I could get two American Airlines AAdmirals Club passes for adding an authorized user and spending a pre-determined amount of money on my credit card.

I wasn’t interested in the offer for a couple of reasons:

  • I already have lounge membership due to the Citi AAdvantage Exec Card
  • I was working on spends to earn sign-up bonuses on a couple of cards

a screenshot of a mileage plus cardOnce again, another day another targeted offer for bonus miles.

Yesterday I wrote about a bonus offer of 1,000 Delta SkyMiles for dining out which I don’t plan to take advantage of. This time I received a “Mega” offer from United dining.

MileagePlus Dining sent me a targeted offer which seemed to be quite irresistible until I read just a little further along. Based on the graphic above, my mind seemed to only focus on one key point in the e-mail, 10,000 bonus award miles.

10,000 bonus miles! Wow! How do I not go for this offer?  Continue reading 10,000 “Mega” Bonus United Miles For Dining- Targeted →

Transfer 20,000 SPG Points To 30,000 AAdvantage- No Thanks

Deals, , , ,

a pool with a fire pit and a gazeboYesterday Kim, Lucas and I had a very busy (and interesting) day driving through the Midwestern U.S. I hadn’t had a ton of time to do much blog reading or Twitter checking but did come across one very interesting piece of news.

Dan’s Deals tweeted that 20,000 Starpoints transfer to 30,000 AAdvantage miles this month.

This sounded like a very interesting offer since SPG points to AA usually transfer at 20,000 points: 25,000 miles. A 20% bonus is nothing to ignore but I was definitely not interested. Continue reading Transfer 20,000 SPG Points To 30,000 AAdvantage- No Thanks →

In the middle of last week there was news circulating that the amazing Citi AA Executive card 100,000 mile signup bonus was coming to an end. I had planned on applying when I heard the offer would be ending but totally forgot. When I tried applying around 12:30 AM, the page showed an error message.

Later that day I came across a link from Dan’s Deals saying that the Citi Exec offer was not gone. I decided to take a chance and apply for the card even thought the application page did not state what offer I was applying for. Continue reading That’s Fast, 3rd Citi AA Exec Card Arrives →

AA Business Extra Referral Bonus Points Finally Posting

AA Biz Extra Referrals

Back in February I had  5 American Airlines Business Extra 1,000 Point Referral bonuses up for grabs.  There was a solid amount of interest so when I chose the winners I also tried to match up readers that had referrals with others looking for one.

The referrals had to be sent out by March 31 and I’d checked my AA Biz Extra a few times since but never saw any bonus points post. I began to wonder if the referrals that I sent out weren’t submitted by those that won my little referral offer? Continue reading AA Business Extra Referral Bonus Points Finally Posting →

Earlier today Kim received a very nice offer from the IHG Rewards Club Mastercard. Continue reading Earn 2,000 IHG Bonus Points, Make 1 Purchase- Targeted →
