Already registered? We will notify you via email when you've hit a new milestone. Then, visit our Elite Rewards redemption website so you can select one reward for each milestone you've achieved.

Important things to know about Elite Rewards:

If you have already reached a milestone, look for our notification email alerting you to choose a reward. Please note, it can take up to two weeks for your miles, points or segments activity to be updated in the system. Reward selection will continue through February 28, 2014.

You must register by December 31, 2013, and choose your reward by February 28, 2014.

You are welcome to one reward within each milestone for which you qualify.

We will email you as you achieve each new milestone, notifying you to choose your reward.

Our Elite Rewards program is cumulative, so if you've reached Milestone 2, you've also reached Milestone 1. The program is also retroactive, so as long as you register by December 31, 2013, you qualify for rewards since January 1, 2013.
