500 Free Goldpoints
Sep
22
2005
A timeshare company is offering 500 Goldpoints for entering their sweepstakes. 500 Goldpoints aren’t worth much — you earn 500 points just for updating your email address every three months — but I figure it’s worth a sales call because every year I transfer Goldpoints into Northwest miles to complete a partner transaction in the Fly Free Faster promo for 10,000 miles… (Hat tip to Free Frequent Flyer Miles.)

Double Miles for Northwest Flights
Aug

2005
Northwest is offering double miles (which also count towards status) on Northwest and KLM through October 9th. Registration is required. They say the offer is intended to match a similar one from United, which leads me to ask what double miles offer from United? I haven’t seen one. I can’t find one on the United website. And as far as I can tell it hasn’t been mentioned on Flyertalk.com, which is as close as one can come to saying it doesn’t exist. Maybe their corporate espionage folks knew about one coming down the pike? Here’s hoping…

$9/night hotel outside Washington, DC
Ripped from Flyertalk, not yet on FareAlert: Several nights can be booked at $9/night (double occupancy) at www.ramada.com at the following hotel: Ramada Inn New Carrollton/DC Area 8500 Annapolis Road New Carrollton, Maryland 20784 Not valid for all dates, but you will find the $9 rate mostly for weekdays. Seems to be valid from now until August 2006. This hotel is a decent distance outside of DC but appears to offer a shuttle to the metro. It’s a Ramada but looks quite decent as a basic hotel room.
Rewards for Writing Reviews

JudysBook.com is a site with reviews of restaurants and hotels, but also local auto mechanics and real estate agents. It’s new and they’re offering $5 Starbucks cards for every 5 reviews you write by September 30 (up to $50 total). It’s a little late to take advantage of this, but they’re also offering a free iPod Shuffle for writing 50 reviews and referring 10 friends, and up to 50 iTunes if the friends you refer write reviews themselves. Problem is that this needs to be completed by Sunday. I just got around to checking out the site today, already posted 10 reviews, and may just go for the iPod — but there are lots of terms and conditions to iPod offer (which don’t apply to the Starbucks offer), such as No more than 10 of…
How to earn a rebate on Priceline now that eBay Anything Points is ending?
With the demise of the eBay Anything Points program, it looks like the best kickback deal on Priceline purchases is now Ebates which offers a 3% cash rebate. They’ll give you $5 for signing up, too, though they won’t cash out the $5 until you’ve earned an additional $5.01 through purchases. They also give $5 to you for each person you refer (so if you use my link above, we each get $5) but again you can’t cash this out until you’ve earned $5.01 in shopping rebates. Not hard at all, a single Priceline purchase of $167 gets you there for instance. Ebates is not the only way to earn something for Priceline purchases, to be sure, it just looks to me to be the best remaining deal. AirMilesMart gives 1 point for every 2…
