I am still on the fence whether to do this. A Groupon clone KGBdeals is offering 100 AAdvantage miles for signup. This seems awfully small compared to the $10 that other sites hand out.
Moreover, I am not sure I want to have anything to do with KGB . Nevertheless, if you want to get the 100 FREE miles, here is the LINK.

If you are a ‘new’ Netflix customer, you can get 3000 AAdvantage Miles if you join today via aa.com/30. This is part of the month long promotion that American Airlines has been running to celebrate 30 years of AAdvantage.

This is not a very lucrative promo given that AAdvantage almost always offers 2500 miles for ‘new’ Netflix customers. But then, the definition of ‘new’ according to Netflix is a set of unique address, e-mail id, credit card and AAdvantage number. So, why not get pick up 3000 AAdvantage miles for doing …

American Airlines’ (AA) celebration of 30 years of the AAdvantage program has been lucrative for many frequent fliers. Free miles, discounts, free flights; we have seen everything this year. The latest is 30 days of deals similar to the 25 days of deals they had 5 years back.

Early this year, Expedia removed all American Airlines (AA) fares from its site to protest AA yanking its fares off Orbitz. AA was trying to force Orbitz and other major ticket selling sites to use AA Direct Connect, a sales system that would give the AA more control over the sales.

However, Expedia announced yesterday that it would begin selling tickets American Airlines immediately after resolving an issue over how tickets are sold. As of now I can see AA fares on Expedia.

However, I could not get Expedia to mix …

Booking complex award itineraries, made up of multiple cities and multiple connecting flights can be very painful. I just booked such a trip myself. When I started out I had no idea how cumbersome and time consuming it would be. I really thought I had it easy. After all, I had enough miles on all three Airline Alliances to redeem for the award trip. So I thought I would have multiple options to choose from. Instead it turned out to be a major time drain and resulted in a complex …

I have discussed the idea of having one primary airline you credit all your miles on in several previous articles. I have also discussed the importance of Airline Alliances and why the airline you choose should be a part of one of the three Global Alliances. As you go about picking your primary Airline and hence, primary alliance, one very important factor that needs to to be taken into consideration is that of hubs. Hubs form, there is no better way to put it, the hub of an Airline and …

As I was updating the spreadsheet I use to track my miles over the weekend, I happened to glance down at the bottom row, where I show a grand total of all my miles. It said 1,001,238. Cool! I wish it was bank balance that read that, but miles balance is a good start. I am no way anywhere near hard core road-warriors who travel over a million miles in a year (I am an UN-road-warrior, remember). Gary from View from the Wing just wrote a blog post about the …

Alaska Airlines and its sister airline Horizon Air have been a standout in a world dominated by Airline Alliances. Alaska Airlines has ‘gone it alone’ (or with its one sibling) and built up a formidable network of airline partners. This network of domestic and international partners has given Alaska the international connections and access to international routes that typical domestic carriers lack. Other airlines with a primarily domestic network or a small international footprint, have to join an Alliance to get this kind of presence. US Airways is a prime …

The CEO of Continental called US Airways an Ugly Girl! As he was describing why his company jumped up to negotiate a merger with United Airlines, he said that they did so to ensure that United did not get married to the ‘Ugly Girl’ – US Airways, who United was in merger talks with. You can read more details of his statements and apology to US Airways in this article on The Wall Street Journal. (Note: I have no affiliation to WSJ).
So what happened to the Ugly Girl, left jilted …

The evolving Airline Alliances and Partnerships:
Airline Alliances have been a critical element in the evolution of collaboration between airlines to provide travel and elite benefits to their passengers. When United, Air Canada, Lufthansa, SAS and Thai got together back in 1997 to form Star Alliance, it changed the whole industry. From a passengers perspective, you can now travel to multiple destinations, traveling a route not serviced by a single airline, but by connecting flights from two or more airlines in the alliance. From a mileage earning perspective you can earn …
