Biscoff Cookies

by Gary Leff on November 10, 2004

Nov 10 2004

One of the things I love about flying Skywest, a regional carrier in the Western U.S. for both United and Delta, is that they’ve long served Biscoff cookies. The Gourmet Center in San Francisco (which sells these wonderful treats) is now offering one Delta mile per dollar spent at their online store, plus 250 miles for each order (500 miles on orders of $75 or more). This isn’t the most lucrative offer on its own terms, but for folks like me who have long considered ordering the cookies anyway this gives me a pretty good excuse.

One for the ladies…

The free photoiPod people also have an offer for a free handbag — a Prada mini-hobo, Kate Spade Pia Pochette, Burburry Novacheck Minisling, or Coach Signature Demi-pouch. For the record, I don’t know what any of those things are. But they’re authentic, and they’re supposed to be good. As with all of these offers, the key is to sign up for a free trial that doesn’t require you to spend any money. The best offer is infone, as it doesn’t even need to be cancelled. AOL is another good offer, you don’t get charged anything and have 45 days to cancel.Then you need to refer folks to the site who need to complete an offer. Unlike the free computer, which takes 10 referrals, the free handbag takes only five.

If I post too much during the day from work, my employer might have to fire me. That might be okay, because Talentology is an online job bank which gives 500 United miles for each interview that you get from their site.
