by Gary Leff on December 9, 2004

Dec 09 2004

The easiest Delta miles ever. Just play the Delta Dash to the Gate game for up to 10,000 miles. It’s a multiple choice game with obvious answers. You’re almost certain to earn the full mileage since (a) the questions are easy and (b) if you don’t earn the points they give you a chance to play the game again for a better score until you do. At first I was skeptical about the offer, but the website is an actual Delta site and it’s quite professionally done. Seems too easy to work. But it should. Update: I’ve already received a confirmation email after playing the game, verifying that I’ll be receiving 10,000 miles. The terms and conditions say the following two useful things: All SkyMiles members worldwide are eligible for this promotion. …Miles will appear…

Dec 05 2004

Through December 31st, Alaska Airlines Board Room (lounge) membership is on sale and so are day passes. For annual membership, the $100 ‘initiation fee’ is waived. For day passes, the usual $25 price is reduced to two for $25 or one for $15. To take advantage of the offer, call Board Room Administration at 206-392-5496 and use promo code BRGIFT04.

Free and Almost Free (After Rebate) from Circuit City

by Gary Leff on November 26, 2004

Belkin Single-Outlet Surge Protector: $10 – $10 rebate Philips 700MB/80-Minute CD-Rs (100-Pack): $20 – $20 rebate Belkin F5D72304 802.11g Wireless Router: $65 – $57 rebate Belkin F5D7000 802.11g Wireless Desktop Adapter: $45 – $40 rebate Belkin F5D7010 802.11g Wireless Notebook Adapter: $45 – $40 rebate Remember that if you go to Circuit City via a mileage mall, you earn miles for your purchases based on the original (not after-rebate) price. I recommend the AAdvantage Mall because they’re giving double miles for purchases using Mastercard plus Circuit City is a featured merchant for the threshold bonus of up to 10,000 miles. Free after rebate items are a great way to earn those miles.
