Friday Flurry

Lots of newbies lately. So for new and old, here’s some of the big non-credit card offers that have been kicking around for a while.

  • Up to 50,000 miles from investing with Fidelity (United or American Airlines)
  • 25,000 American Airlines miles from DirecTV here
  • Monthly American miles from BankDirect checking accounts (Not a fan of the monthly fees)
  • Alaska Airlines ATM card for Bank of America accounts here 
  • United miles for mortgages here
  • American Airlines options for real estate here


Netflix Offers
  • 2,500 miles from American Airlines here
  • 2,500 miles from US Airways here
  • 2,500 miles from Delta here
  • 2,000 or 4,000 miles from United here

Miles For Being Charitable

Get 15 American Airlines miles for each dollar you donate. This is up from the usual 10 miles per dollar for Breast Cancer Awareness Month (October) only. The info is here.

2,000 Wyndham Points For $1

I just received my 2,000 points today. How? By signing up here for the $1 “Great Fun” promo. My points arrived in under a week. Just make sure you cancel as soon as you get your points (and definitely within 30 days) to avoid being charged $15.99.

Why Do This?

Every so often, I take a day off from the usual posts to remind people why we do this. There’s a new batch of MileNerds each week, which means some new people saying “Blah…that seems like a lot of work.” If you’re in need of a little motivation, check out this article.

Monday Miles

  • Those with United Airlines credit cards might be able to cash in on 2 different promos. No guarantee both will work, but it could be worth a shot. Get 5,000 miles for spending $1,000 this month here. Also, another promo for 5,000 miles if you spend $3,000 this month here. (edit: Both of these are now a no-go).
  • Newbie alert – Those who don’t have a Southwest account can pick up 1,000 miles here. The 1,000 points for new Hilton members is still available here.
