For several years now Delta has been growing their presence in Seattle, and has been taking market share from Alaska Airlines. Seattle is a different market than most, in the sense that locals are fiercely loyal, and like giving business to companies…
A couple weeks ago I reported that points from the IHG Priceless Surprises promotion were posting. I realize now that that might have been a bit of an overstatement. My statement was more or less based on my own two data points -- I had mailed in two…
A bit earlier this year, Panama based Copa airlines announced their new frequent flyer program, ConnectMiles, which will be launching in July. Copa Airlines used to use MileagePlus as their frequent flyer program, though decided to create their own one…
Singapore Airlines is offering 5,000 free miles to new KrisFlyer members that enroll between March 4 and March 31, 2015. The catch is that the promotion is only valid for Australian enrollments, so presumably you'll need to register with an Australian…
Hello from first class on Emirates 355, an Airbus 380 somewhere over the Indian Ocean between Singapore and Dubai. Anyway, as I hinted at yesterday, I’m giving away 10,000 Membership Rewards points to whoever is the first to correctly guess the…
A couple of weeks ago Hampton Inn offered 500 Hilton HHonors points for “liking” them on Facebook and watching a “Hamptonality Moments” video, showcasing some of their Hampton Inn properties. While it was supposed to take 6-8…
Through March 31, Priority Club is offering 250 points for completing a survey. The survey is loading really slowly, so it might take a bit of time for all the pages to load. When I took it this morning it only took a few minutes, so maybe it makes sense…
KGB Deals (what a name!), which seems to be a Groupon-esque site, is offering 100 American AAdvantage miles to new members. Now, 100 miles are worth maybe $1.50-$2.00, so to many of you this may not be worth it. It may however be useful to extend the…
US Airways is offering new members of Dividend Miles that use the code NM15 1,500 miles just for signing up through July 31. I’m guessing the bonus doesn’t post instantly. If nothing else, keep in mind that US Airways miles can be transferred…
It looks like Burger King is taking over for the US Mint here. Given that the dollar coins game is just about over, especially after the recent Wall Street Journal article, we might just have found a replacement. For the Holidays Burger King is offering…
It’s lunchtime and I’m hungry. I have no food at home, which means I need to pick up something. I could try to find something healthy, although that’s a bit of a challenge nowadays. Or I could try to go somewhere that will earn me a…
I ordered my second shipment of coins on Sunday, and they already arrived today. The whole bank process took less than five minutes, and I am 3,000 Starwood points richer. I wouldn’t usually do this, but I’m hoping to achieve the minimum…
As some of you may recall, I went to my local Chase branch last week to open a checking account to earn 25,000 Continental miles. The debit card that I have to use at least five (or maybe six) times arrived yesterday, and I tried to make six small transactions…
Both Delta and Northwest unveiled similar promotions on Friday, offering up to 5,000 or 10,000 bonus miles per roundtrip, with a maximum of ten bonuses. Unfortunately for me (and many, many others) the promotions are targeted, and I’m not one of…
As of now, United has 9,935 followers on Twitter. I’m guessing they’ll reach 10,000 followers in the next couple of hours, so we’ll probably see the “small gift” this afternoon. If you haven’t registered yet, now would…
About a month ago I signed my dad up for the Vinesse Wine Club, which offered 4,800 Northwest miles for $42, plus the six bottles of wine they throw in (with free shipping). He thought the wine was ok, I thought the miles were great, so it was a win-win. The…
