American Promo

Like some of you, I recently got a postcard from American Airlines offering free status for 3 months. Mine was for Gold and it came with ten 500-mile upgrades (others got Platinum with 20 upgrades).

Really couldn’t have been much easier. I went to the website on the postcard, clicked the status offer, and registered in under 30 seconds. Impossible to lose your way on this one. What’s the point here? Well, I just heard from a reader who wasn’t targeted but was able to get it by trying. Probably a longshot but it won’t take long to find out…just click here to see if an offer shows up in your account.

Alaska Cards

Thanks to reader Joe for sending a screenshot of the 40,000-mile offer sitting right in the middle of the Alaska Airlines website. Bank Of America isn’t the free-for-all loose slot machine of a company it used to be for credit card approvals…but this bonus is definitely worth a look. And with the Business side up to 32,500, it’s a good time to accumulate some Alaska miles.

Edit: Some people aren’t seeing that offer for 40,000 miles. Reader Micheal used a VPN on a server in the west coast to resolve that.

Hamilton Puerto Rico Contest

Thanks to reader Jay for sending this one. I know there are a bunch of Hamilton geeks out there…but to be perfectly honest, I should admit that I really don’t know much about it. You could sing me any song from the show and I’d just stare at you with a confused, slightly annoyed look on my face. That said, this charity contest is probably pretty interesting to some of you so I do need to pass it on. For a $10 donation, you get entered to win a trip to Puerto Rico for opening night to meet the Lin Miranda Lambert guy and see his return to the show. Have a great weekend, nerds!

Delta Award Sale

Delta’s latest deal is here. Domestic, Shanghai/Beijing/Peking, and Latin America flights are all in there. Yes, the pricing is awesome (as usual). But who’s raving about Delta? Not this guy. It’s getting too weird being a SkyDong cheerleader. So I’ve decided to take the day off and silently/nonsensically pout instead.

Ah yes, much better.
