Any ff miles for cell phones?

Does anyone know of any programs where you get miles for a cell phone? I thought I had seen one, but I can't find it. Thanks in advance for all the helpful people out there!

I use my US Airways VISA to pay my cell phone bills to receive the miles. Not exactly what you were looking for, but it is a way to get miles for cell phone use.

Just a guess: Sprint PCS might get Northwest or Alaska miles? AT&T also has mobile phone service.

FWIW, my Skymiles Platinum AMEX offers double Delta miles for my AT&T cell phone charges billed to the card. I'm not aware of any new bonus offers for signing up.

WorldPerks members can now earn up to 5,000 Northwest Airlines WorldPerks Bonus Miles in just six months just for choosing Sprint PCS.

And earn additional miles or points by paying with an AMEX card or one of your credit cards that earn you miles or points.

JayBrian, if Northwest WorldPerks miles interest you, I believe you can still get get in on that promotion even though you are an existing Sprint PCS customer. In addition, for every dollar you spend with Sprint PCS, you'll earn five WorldPerks Bonus Miles or seven Bonus Miles if you're a WorldPerks Elite Member.

To earn miles on a monthly basis with your Sprint PCS account, sign up for Automatic Credit Card Payment and designate a credit card that earns you miles or points.

I signed up with MCI Wireless back in September. I got the 250 minutes/$35 plan. I didn't have any expectation of flyermiles, but when the phone came in, it included a 5,000 mile offer. The form allowed me to select between AA, Delta, Midwest Express, United, Continental, Hawaiian, and Southwest (4 rapid rewards credits). Form said to allow 90 days for miles to post, and I sent mine in on 9/13/00. I expect to the miles to post in the next few weeks.

BJJ:

For $35, you can get 1250 minutes with Sprint PCS, you'll get the 5000 mile bonus with Worldperks, and a subsequent five miles for every dollar you spend.

This alone has revived my nearly defunct Worldperks account, and now I am close to a reward ticket!

Then you HAVE TO (in my opinion) have the bill charged to your Delta Skymiles card. You just can't pass up double miles!!!!!!

Word of Warning on MCI: I have two cell phones, and bit for the MCI offer. MCI will NOT give the mileage to you, at least in the San Francisco area. I spent several hours (most of the time on hold) and talked to numerous different csr's in an attempt to get this bonus. I'm through with MCI when the contract comes up, I think.

It is also possible to pay your Sprint PCS bill by credit card without signing up for the Sprint PCS Automatic Payment program. Pay any month's bill with a credit card by calling Sprint PCS Customer Care.

Thank you. This post caused me to check my AT&T billing. I was paying with a VISA. Changed it to my Delta Skymiles American Express. Miles. More important than nothin'.

I get Onepass miles for AT&T and then charge it to my cc for AAdvantage miles. All of my AT&T services come on one bill, but I'm not sure if all services qualify for onepass miles or just some.
