American Airlines Miles-for-Cheese to be Honored
The Emmi USA website now reads: We are pleased to announce that we have extended the mileage promotion and will honor customer redemption requests. Effective 12/07/2006 redemptions are limited to two (2) 500 mile awards per AAdvantage® member. All redemption requests must be submitted by midnight (EST) on January 31, 2007. And folks who bought tons of cheese prior to 12/7? Customers who purchased the specially marked packages of cheese prior to 12/07/2006, please click here for further information about your mileage redemptions. That link reads:If you purchased Swiss Knight products prior to 12/07/2006 we will honor your mile redemptions in full, subject to the redemption terms and conditions which can be obtained by emailing info@emmiusa.com or calling 1-845-268-9990 between the hours of 9am and 5pm (EST).

Wine.com price error: 12-month wine club is free
Dec

2006
Wine.com has ,a Holiday Wine club (in 3, 6 and 12 month periods) available, but the 6 and 12 month ones are shown as $0.00 while the 3 month one is $99.99. I was able to purchase the 12-month club and have not been charged (but as this is $0 rather than an actual price being charged I’d guess it won’t get honored). Choose the 6 or 12 month club and look for the $0.00 price. (Hat tip to Flyertalk’s UnitedSkies.)
Continental Draws a Moral Line in the Sand
Via Online Travel Review, Continental Airlines is apparently taking a stand against cockfighting. In response to the realization that it was shipping large numbers of roosters to Guam to provide fodder for the sport (it’s legal in Guam, by the way), the airline will no longer carry any adult poultry on its planes.
500 free Starwood points!
Starwood is offering 500 points for signing in and telling a story about a stay at a Sheraton property. Quick, easy, free 500 points!
Double Alaska Airlines Miles
Alaska Airlines is offering double miles on your next two flights taken by January 31. Registration is required, and you have to pick a ‘registration code’ that tells them whether you learned of the offer on their website or from Inside Flyer magazine (which is how I learned of it).
Le Meridien Khao Lak for 60 cents a night or less
The Le Meridien Khao Lak in Phuket, Thailand has an amazing rate right now, pricing rooms in Ugandan Schillings rather than US dollars. Naturally, this was found on Flyertalk. Go to this link. Change promotion code to “z3r” (for a 3 day stay, z5r may work on a 5 night stay, and of course you can line multiple stays up in a row) Change the special rate plan entry to a blank Pick some dates (must be at lease 3 consecutive days with ‘z3r’, most work at least through early September) Click continue. If you get an error, then see #6. On the left side, put in your dates again, scroll down and put “z3r” in the promo field, click search. Sort the available rates from high to low, you should get some rates in…
Problem with Miles for Cheese
It looks like the company offering miles for cheese may be backing off on its commitment of 500 American Airlines miles per box. The current scuttlebutt on Flyertalk is that the compan didn’t anticipate the response, apparently assumed most codes wouldn’t be redeemed, and didn’t imagine folks buying up large quantities of boxes just for the points (which likely cost the company more than the sale price of the product, let alone their profit margin).Developing… but in the meantime, I wouldn’t go buying up more cheese.
Triple points at Sheratons in Asia, Australia, and South Pacific
Starwood is offering triple points for stays at Sheraton hotels in Asia, Australia, and the South Pacific from December 1 through February 28, 2007. Registration required.Note that this is a Sheraton-specific promo and not Starwood-wide, so stays at other Starwood Preferred Guest brands like Westin and Luxury Collection don’t offer the bonus points.
Halfway to an Award Ticket, Just for Signing Up
Southwest is offering 8 Rapid Rewards credits just for signing up as part of their promoting Washington-Dulles service. Join Rapid Rewards and get 8 free credits. All you have to do is enroll by January 31, 2007. That puts you halfway to a free Award (16 credits).

That means you can fly 2 roundtrips into or out of Dulles and get 1 roundtrip free (it usually takes 8 roundtrips to get 1 free!) to anywhere we fly.
