So many deals to close out the week…
- 1,000 free Hilton points for changing your password. Only Hilton would still use 4-digit pins. And only Hilton is dumb enough to screw up something as simple as changing passwords.
- 500 Air Berlin miles for getting a newsletter. And another 500 here.
- Delta is offering 2,500 of their craptastic miles if your bag takes longer than 20 minutes to arrive.
- A bonus 5,000 American miles if you’re new to Rocketmiles. Remember, you have the same offer with Southwest points here. More on Rocketmiles in a second…
- Get a bonus 1,000 American miles on National rentals of 2 days or more with Contract ID 5031007. If you’re a regular reader, you have Executive status like I do. With status, National is my favorite car rental company right now.
- Delta’s 50,000-mile offer is still alive here. Have I mentioned what I think of Delta?
And now to friends…
- Old buddy (and one of the nicest human beings around) “Perry Platypus” has done something VERY impressive for his fellow man. When he gives me the go-ahead to post specifics, I’ll do it that same day. But in the meantime, I just want him to know that I’m proud of him.
- And now to Rocketmiles. Gigantic congratulations to the good people over there. No, I still haven’t booked a stay. But in an industry full of people I can’t stand, it’s a pleasure (and relief) to interact with a person of integrity. Jay Hoffman, their CEO, is someone I like and respect. And it looks like he’s about to have a very good day.
- Finally, reader Dan would like to “build a community of fellow travelers, average Joes, consumer watchdogs, etc to protest Southwest’s devaluation. It’s a long shot, but with enough noise hopefully we can create enough buzz for it to hit news outlets and force SWA to rethink their plans, and stay true to who they say they are. We often gripe amongst ourselves about these type of changes, but rarely do anything proactive to change it. No more.” If you want to support this, follow Dan’s new Facebook and Twitter pages.
Have a great weekend, nerds!
