American Airlines is offering 10,000 Bonus Miles if you book and fly between January 1, 2009 and March 31, 2009. To qualify, purchase a ticket in First Class, Business Class, or select Economy Class fares ( (F, J, A, D, I, R, Y, B or H) for round-trip travel on American Airlines to or from Europe, Asia, the Middle East, Central or South America connecting to a oneworld airline.

Many of you probably already have airline mile accounts previously set up. Make sure and log in before the end of the year to check the expiration dates.

All airline miles expire if you don’t have any activity in them after usually a year to a year and a half.

The good news is that if your miles are about to expire, you can do plenty of things to get activity besides doing a flight. As mentioned in class, you could order flowers from FTD.com and get 25 skymiles per $1 on top of the mileage for using your Delta American Express card.

If you have some miles that are about to expire, use the links to the right to order from those airlines partners.

Go test drive a Mercedes at these ten select dealerships and get 1000 Skymiles: Alexandria, Virginia,
Atlanta, Georgia,
Cincinnati, Ohio,
Eugene, Oregon,
Lindon, Utah,
Northbrook, Illinois,
Orlando, Florida,
St. Claire Shores, Michigan,
Valencia, California, and
Tiverton, Rhode Island

You heard me talk in class about ordering Presidential dollar coins. Here is the link to do it.

Remember, this is actual currency. Have this package shipped to a trusted address. I had it shipped to my work address because I knew it would be delivered safely.

You can only order $500 per President. Make sure and used a mileage earning credit card.

If you’re going to do this one, you better hurry. I expect them to shut it down soon.

Here’s a promotion where you can get 200 Priority Club points for joining Points.com.

Here are some great hotel bonuses for the upcoming year.

Marriott is offering 2500 extra points after your first stay between February 1 and April 30, 2009. The maximum you can earn is 25,000 points on this promotion. Make sure your earning preferences are set to Marriott points.

Hilton has double points between January 6 and April 6 at these hotels

.
Priority Club is giving 3000 bonus points for every third night, up to 30,000 points between January 12 and April 30.

Starwood has 500 bonus points for each qualifying night, plus 5000 additional for every 10th night between January 7 and April 30.

The first thing I want everyone to do is to go create accounts at these airlines and hotels. I want to make sure everyone is signed up before I start sending out the deals. If any of you have children, sign them up for the airlines as well (no point in doing hotels as I doubt they’ll be booking their own rooms). Both of my kids almost have 25,000 skymiles which is a free domestic ticket each.

Make sure and create a spam gmail account for all these accounts. The airlines and hotels will spam you to death. For my kids I made up savannahpoints at gmail.com for example. I then link all of these signup accounts to that account. It also makes it easy to scan all their deals and delete all if necessary. Make sure and start a list with all of your new numbers.

I’ve provided for all the sign up links on the right.
