2 Red Carpet Club Passes and Starwood Gold for $10

Ameniti, United’s “Luxury Travel Club” (which is useless in almost every regard) is offering a 3-month trial membership for $10. It comes with 2 United Red Carpet Club passes and Starwood Gold status, my best guess being through February 2007. If you allow your membership to renew after 3 months for a $295 annual fee you’ll receive 25,000 United miles. Otherwise, just cancel before 3 months are up.

Following on the recent spate of Presidential Suites available for award redemption at Intercontinental hotel properties (using the standard room 30,000 Priority Club points per night rate, see here and here), Flyertalk’s Savage25 surveyed all the Intercontinental hotels to see where this glitch is currently coming up.

Completed all my free electronics offers

May 06 2005

I’ve completed all my requirements for the free digital camera from Gratis Networks (the free iPod folks). Actually I’ve completed everything for all of their free electronics offers, and am waiting to receive only the digital camera and the Playstation Portable.For those of you who need to complete a marketing offer for one of these promotions, I notice that both eFax Plus and consumerinfo are currently on the offers list. Both offer 30 day free trials. Thirty day trials are the best because you have plenty of time to get credit for the offer and cancel without being under a time gun. Nothing is shipped, so you don’t even have to pay for shipping. I’ve used both of these before and had no problems with cancellation. (eFax offers cancellation via online chat, and I was…
