Earn a Roundtrip ticket on Airtran by Buying 64 Cokes at Wendys

by Gary Leff on November 3, 2005

Nov 03 2005

As described in today’s MilesLink Newsletter, Airtran and Wendy’s have partnered to give away credits in the Airtran frequent flyer program when you buy drinks or combo meals at Wendys. You earn a quarter of a rewards credit for each combo, 20 or 32 ounce drink purchased at participating Wendys through December 31st. An Airtran coupon will be printed on the cup. You can only buy five drinks per transaction, so you may need to go stand in line a few times or circle ’round the drivethrough. After you have consumed your beverage, carefully cut out the Proof of Purchase/AirTran Flight Coupon along the dotted line. Fill out a 3×5 card with your complete name, street address (no P.O. Boxes) and AirTran Airways A+ Rewards account number and mail in a handwritten business size (#10)…

Loyalty Makes You Hungry

I first mentioned Pizza Hut’s loyalty program a couple of years ago. With some time and members under the crust, they’ve concluded that the program increased “incremental orders by 93% from members over a matched control and raised incremental net sales 65 percent.” They found that, somewhat counterintuitively, charging a fee to their best customers actually worked best. It apparently builds commitment and buy-in to the program and brand.

Up to 60,000 Bonus Points for Priority Club Stays through December 31

Oct 23 2005

Priority Club — the frequent guest program for Intercontinental Hotels, Crowne Plazas, Holiday Inns, etc. — frequently offers stay bonuses. The intention is to target certain members, generally offering 10,000 bonus points for a specific number of stays. In practice, anyone who signs up for the bonuses gets them, regardless of whether the member is targeted for the bonus or not. Furthermore, historically you could sign up for several of the bonuses and get all of them — even though the intention is that a member only receive one bonus. As always with these sort of things your mileage may vary. But if you have several stays coming up between November 1 and December 31 with hotels that are part of this program, you could pick up as many as 60,000 bonus points. You’ll need…

In response to United’s similar offer, American now has a bonus of up to 36,000 miles for flying up to 8 roundtrips to California, Oregon, or Washington through February 15, 2006. Registration is required with promo code AAWCB.

Double Elite Qualifying Miles are Back at United

Oct 18 2005

In what’s becoming an end of year tradition, United is offering Double Elite Qualifying Miles for sale. Register by December 15th, pay $200, and your flight miles from October 25 through December 15th will count double towards 2006 status. No reason to register right away, wait until early December to see whether doubling your flight miles during the qualifying period will bump you up to higher status.

Several United Mileage Offers

Oct 17 2005

I’ve been swamped the past few days, I have an inbox full of great deals, and no time to cull through them. Fortunately FreeFrequentFlyerMiles does much of the work for me. Gary Steiger points to several worthwhile offers: United’s Silver Wings Plus has a promo (promo code SWA16-2904) — join for $264 and get 25,000 bonus miles, (3) $100 travel credits, and double miles on your next 12,500 flown miles. You’ll have to cancel before the first year is up or they’ll auto-renew you for another $264. Silver Wings Plus is United’s senior citizen program. The offer may expire November 4. United is offering 4,000 miles for signing up for Netflix and paying with a United Visa (2,000 miles otherwise). United is offering up to 36,000 bonus miles for flights to the West Coast and…

Following up on last month’s 35% bonus, American Express is offering a 30% bonus for transfers of Membership Rewards points into Delta miles through November 30. Registration is required.

New Ameniti Signup Bonus

Sep 29 2005

United’s generally worthless ‘luxury travel club’ is offering 50,000 United miles as a bonus when signing up for a 2-year membership ($500). That’s one cent per mile, plus you get 2 lounge passes and Starwood Gold status (and a couple other minor sundry items, like the ability to request a free leather travel wallet from one of their partners). The 3-month trial for $10, which still nets you the lounge passes and Starwood status but no miles, is still available.
