The 2,000 United Airlines miles offer for joining a gym was extended. The Gyms are Anytime Fitness, Bally Total Fitness, Curves, 24 Hour Fitness, New York Sports Clubs, and more. I no longer see an expiration date for this offer. (In the Other Shopping Loyalty Programs > Gyms section.)

Then you can still shop via the worthy causes link to help them.

The Points Guy reports that now through 11:59pm CT tomorrow, United is offering up to a 30% discount on purchased United miles. MileagePlus members will save 30% on the purchase of 15,000 ore MileagePlus award miles or more, or save 20% on the purchase of 5,000-14,000 miles. You can buy miles for yourself, or you can gift miles to others. You can buy up to 100,000 miles per calendar year. Use the links provided to get the bonus. Still a terrible deal, but if you are going to buy a few miles anyway to top off your account to get a specific award you know is availble, you might as well get the bonus.

• Enrollment bonus: 1,000 bonus miles after transacting and earning 100 miles with the progran's network partners. Bonus ends 11:59PM CENTRAL on August 17, 2013.

1,000 Air Canada Aeroplan miles for entering its Around the World contest via facebook. (Via Rewards Canada)

A reader asked me "Can I have more than one credit card 'attached' to a frequent flyer account that feeds into that account? (Right now we have Visas for United and a MC for one of our American accounts - will get one for other AAdvantage account). I think my answer might be use to many of my readers. So, at the risk of this page sounding like a blog (heaven forbid!), here it is: Yes. Examples:

• You can usually get both the business and the personal cards for the same airline account.
• You can get both the Chase Sapphire Preferred (SM) Card and the Ink Bold® Business Card or the Ink Plus® Business Card which earn Chase Ultimate Rewards points, which, in turn, convert to miles of several airlines (especially United) 1,000:1,000. Some say that you can get both the Visa and the Mastercard versions of these, though I haven't tried that for myself. These can be especially great cards for actually spending, in certain categories. You can find these on my Credit Cards > Bank and Other Travel Cards page.
• The Starwood American Express cards (business and personal) convert its points to many airlines and has an upfront bonus and a 5,000 mile bonus for every 20,000 points converted 1:1, thus making it a good card for actual spending.
• U.S. Airways will merge with American Airlines. The surviving program will be American's. So it would be wise to get all of the U.S. Airways miles you can, especially the good bonuses for its credit cards.

Southwest Airlines' Double Points and Double Tier Qualifying Points promotion has been extended through June 15, 2013. You must register for it.

Up to30% bonus miles when you buy 20,000 or more American Airlines miles through May 17, 2013. Still a terrible deal, but it might be useful if you need some miles top off your account for an award you know is available.

• Sometimes you can easily transfer assets online, But occasionally (as in a revocable living trust account, for example) they will require that you give them a lot of paperwork. If you have a local Fidelity office, just bring in everything required and they will copy and mail it for you. Easy.
• Remember that this offer can be repeated annually. So mark your calendar appropriately. The assets must be kept in your account for at least 6 months, or they will claw back your miles.
• Through various offers throughout the years, both Fidelity and Ameritrade have given me enough miles for many overseas business class tickets This is well worth doing, especially if you have $100k in assets you can move between brokerage accounts. It’s easy – Fidelity does all the work.

The first 5,000 people to donate to the American Cancer Society by May 31, 2013, via Delta's Day of Hope offer will receive bonus miles for the dontation:

A much improved Lufthansa credit card offer: 20,000 miles after first purchase, plus 30,000 more miles after spending $5,000 in 90 days. (On the Annual Fee Cards page.)

• Update: Post #3 in this Flyertalk thread provides this link to the same offer for spending only $2,500 in 90 days. The link goes directly to the application page, but the temrs and conditions confirm the miles and spend. Search them on "Welcome Bonus".
  • If you try for this offer, then after submitting your application, check to be sure it was received by going to the bank's check application page, and/or calling it's reconsideration number (866)369-1283. Barclays has a history of not receiving applications from otherwise apparently valid offers.
• Lufthansa is a member of Star Alliance, which includes United Airlines. Gary Leff of View from the Wing says "United domestic first class awards are just 17,500 miles each way, 35,000 miles roundtrip (the program offers one-way awards at half the roundtrip price). The reason this works is because a domestic (within one country) award is just 35,000 miles roundtrip for business class. United publishes their domestic forward cabin inventory as “I” or business class, even though they call the product first class. You can’t book the US Airways forward cabin at this price since it’s published as “O” or first class inventory." I note that United's chart, for example, shows that same first class trip as costing 50,000 miles. I consider Gary to be the world's expert on getting an award ticket.

Priority Club has renewed its offer of 300 Priority Club points for answering 5 easy multiple choice questions on this quiz. This may be targeted, but it's certainly worth a shot. This is a repeat quiz. If you did it before (a few years ago, I think), you will get a message saying so and will not get the credit. Answers: Think all of these, 4,300, and 50 nights or 60,000 points. (In the Points to Miles Programs section.)

• It's a Visa card, which is generally more accepted than American Express Cards
• The up front cash bonuses, not offered by the Fidelity card.

PointsHound has changed its program. More airlines, larger bonus, but you must actually reserve through them at least once to get the ree and easy 250 miles. Join PointsHound via my link. Simply enter your name and email address, and click on a confirming email. Choose United, American, Delta, Virgin America, Hawaiian Airlines, Ethiad, Baltic, or AeroMexico's Club Premier. Each of us gets 250 miles with your first reservation. It is not yet clear if you can quadruple dip by using differnt email addresses (at least until they figure that out), but you must use a referral link from an existing member (like mine) to get the bonus. PointsHound gives miles for booking lodging with them. But caution:

• Doing so may cause you to forgo points from the hotel company. PointsHound says "rates booked through PointsHound are generally not eligible for points at most major Frequent Guest Programs. Some hotel chains will credit stays booked through PointsHound towards elite status and most will honor existing status benefits on stays booked through PointsHound. If you have any confusion we recommend asking the hotel receptionist at check-in how your PointsHound reservation will treated by your Frequent Guest Program."
• The number of miles you get is clearly stated on the listing of the proposed reservation you see on their website, but their forumla for computint these is not clear to me. hey say you earn around 4X, 6X, or 9X, depending on how many days you book, but they do not say 4,5, or 9 time what. They say "All PointsHound members start with Level 1 accounts which earn around 3 or 4 miles per dollar spent. We say 'around' because earn offers are different depending on the hotel property you choose, your advance purchase window, and the loyalty rewards currency selected. Level advancement on PointsHound is primarily based on the number of room nights booked. Your earn rate accelerates as you increase your level on PointsHounds. Level 4 members have achieved accrual rates of 15x per dollar spent on certain hotels but getting to Level 4 requires more than booking lots of room nights."

• The 40,000 bonus pseudo miles if you make $1,000 or more in purchases in the first 90 days from account opening equates to $400 off your next trip, or a not clearly defined amount of cash (one blooger says $200). This is why I put this in my Cash Back section of my Free Cards page instead of my Bank and Other Travel Cards page.
• The $1,000 mimimum spend will earn you 2,000 more "miles", since the card offers 2 "miles"/$1 in purchases.
• You get 10% of your "miles" back when you redeem them for travel. Any travel purchase of at least $25 will get you the credit on your account. This purchase does not have to be through the card issuer's travel agent. Just make the purchase on you card and and then request the credit. This is also why I have the card listed in Cash Back section of my Free Cards page instead of my Bank and Other Travel Cards page. Travel is defined as purchases from Airlines, Travel Agencies & Tour Operators, Hotels, Motels & Resorts, Cruise Lines, Passenger Railways and Car Rental Agencies.
• The offer is certainly useful alone for its free $400 for travel purchases and might be useful if you want to earn 2 cents per dollar purchase if you use the "miles" for travel purchases.
• There are two card offers. The one with the 40,000 bonus pseudo miles has an $89 annual fee, but it's waived the first year. The one with 20,000 bonus pseudo miles has no annual fee, offers half as many bonus miles for the same spend, and offers 2X pseudo miles only on travel expenses. This latter card might be useful only if you spend a great deal of money on travel (which I hope you need not do because of the information on this website).

The up to 50,000 Delta Airlines miles offer from Fidelity Investments was extended a year. The similar American and United Airlines offers are still alive. The American offer says it ends March 31 of this year, but I would guess (only a guess from previous experience) that it will be extended. These are excellent offers for easy miles. Note that you do not have to come up with cash for these - just do an easy transfer of assets from another brokerage account. Fidelity does all the work. Note also that these can be done once a year. (In the Stock and Bond Brokers section.)

One blogger says that the 50K Southwest Airlines credit card offer ends tomorrow. I don't know if that means it will really be gone, or just that he can't earn commissions on it anymore. (What, me, cynical about blogger greed? Naw...) (On the Annual Fee Cards page.)
