100 Free Northwest Miles and a 2000 Mile Online Booking Bonus

Worldperks University has added a new, third course — read a couple quick screens, take a three question ‘quiz’, and get 100 bonus miles. The offer says miles post in 3-4 weeks, but they actually post instantly. When you complete the quiz you also become eligible for Book and fly one roundtrip flight on an NWA- or KLM-operated flight within the next 90 days and earn an additional 2,000 Bonus Miles. Back in March Northwest introduced the first two easy quizzes, I’m glad to be able to ‘enroll’ in another one at the start of a new semester… (Hat tip to Slippahs.)

Northwest Shopping Bonus

Jul 12 2006

Northwest is offering 500 bonus miles for shopping online through their Worldperks Mall and spending $150 or more between July 1 and September 15. Registration is required. See the details on the offer, because some of their participating merchants (eg hotel, car, flowers) are excluded from earning the bonus. All your online purchases should — of course — receive some kind of reward, whether it’s Northwest miles or something else. The best one-stop sources for learning about the best bonuses are the extensive RewardsDB charts and the Webflyer tool. It’s always worth checking out these resources before making an online purchase of any kind. (And it’s not just miles – you can earn cash rebates, too.)

Jun 21 2006

If you enter promo code BTN06 while signing up for BizPerks, the Northwest Airlines small business program, you’ll receive 50,000 bonus Biz Perks points. These covert to, say, 5 free club passes and 5 free drink coupons or a domestic upgrade and a couple club passes. The offer expires September 30th. Update: To qualify for the points you need a flight in full fare coach (B fare) or higher by September 30th credited to the Bizperks account. Still worth signing up just in case, but no longer the gimme it first appeared.

Ted Birthday Bonus

Feb 09 2006

Register to receive 1000 bonus miles on a roundtrip flown on United’s low cost subsidiary, Ted. The bonus can be earned twice between February 12 and May 12, 2006. The bonus is meant to “Wish Ted a Happy Birthday.” Personally I wish the operating gurus in Elk Grove had smothered him at birth. RAR!

USAirways Club Enrollment Bonus

by Gary Leff on January 25, 2006

Jan 25 2006

Through February 8 USAirways is offering 10,000 bonus miles for purchase of a club membership. Certainly not worth it for the miles, and I heavily object to their charging extra for access to United clubs and those of their other Star Alliance partners. But if you were going to join anyway this is a reasonable offer. Existing club members are not eligible for the bonus.
