When you sign up, you also have to accept at least 1 shipment (cheapest is $12/bottle; minimum of 2 bottles).

Does anyone actually have experience with this wine club? I'd do the one-order-and-cancel for the sign up miles, but I also like wine.

Wine Miles Cheaper than Instant Miles

As mentioned in another post, I was thinking I may have to buy about 5K Instant Miles for a SEA-BKK award. As it turns out, taking one four bottle shipment of the "California Treasures" club earns 2490 miles at $0.024 per mile, whereas the instant miles cost $0.025 per mile. A small difference, to be sure, but in the former case, I also get 4 bottles of wine! I'm curious to see how the wine is.

You can't do it to Canada either, correct?

For those in disqualifying states, order a $5 corkscrew. I think the terms state any purchase to qualify for the 2,250 bonus miles.

It says on the front page "Earn 2,250 miles for enrolling in any club." The T&C aren't explicit, but they do reference "wine club enrollment miles." Seems you actually have to join a club.

I signed up for the high end club "Elevant Society" and just received my first shipment...a French Syrah (very good) and an Australian Shiraz--Sieber Rd. Barossa Valley(exellent) I had been thinking of joining a wine club anyway, so this was great timing. ^

I just signed-up for the Wine Club without buying anything ( no wine sales in FL) - if you click on Wine Clubs and scroll to the bottom, you just have to enter your e-mail and AS number - then hit submit. Now I'll have to wait and see if the miles actually get credited.
