....Warning...
I followed the link for 1500 miles from the Elite offers. also signed up for E-Z pay for the bonus miles. Only 1000 miles posted. I called customer service at the paper and they were not aware of the 1500 mile offer. They keep telling me that the additional miles must be coming from AA and to call them. I've even written to them in the form of a - " How are we doing " postcard that tney sent me 3 weeks into the subscription. The result is the same, still only 1000 miles. I did get the additional 100 miles from the first extension, but I cancelled the subscription after not getting any resolution.

As far as refund - Since I've been getting the paper ( reading it is a different matter ) I just decided to let my paid subscription run out. So I have another 4 weeks of the paper and will keep the 1100 miles.
Btw, I am PLT, so the elite offer applies.

I did not receive the confirmation like you got above, only this follow up.

Actually, no. The email that I received was slightly different:
Thank you for subscribing to USA TODAY. We wanted to make sure your subscription started as planned. Your delivery was scheduled to begin on 3/24/2006 via CARRIER delivery. Your account number is XXXXXXXXX.
I wonder if the link from AA was working correctly.

I just called USA Today (800-872-0001) and when I asked how many miles were being offered with offer #333 I was told 1,000 AAdvantage miles. I then explained to the gentleman helping me that I'd just signed up over the weekend, and that I was under the impression that I would receive 1,500 miles. He put me on hold for several minutes (after asking for my account number) and when he came back on the line he told me that I would receive the 1,500 miles offered. And that he'd sent an email to the marketing department to correct their notes and update the offer to 1,500 miles.
Without a doubt though he was under the impression that the offer was 1,000 miles.

I got a first e-mail from USA Today the same day as placing the subscription:
----------------------
Thank you for subscribing to USA TODAY. Your subscription will begin
on 05/17/2006.
You have selected to receive 04 weeks of USA TODAY for $12.95.
The total amount billed to your credit card, including taxes of $0.65
was $13.60.
The credit card ended with the following 4 digits: XXXX.
You have earned 1,500 AAdvantage Miles and they will be added to your
account within 6-8 weeks. Plus, you will earn an additional 100 miles
every 4 weeks when your subscription automatically renews on EZ-PAY. ...
----------------------
I also opted out of any renewals, but it looks like it automatically defaults into it anyways, to trick you into extending it. Apparantly those are MD taxes tacked on.
The next day I got another e-mail from USA Today:

T&C have now been changed
USAToday has now changed the terms & conditions on the offer. No longer eligible to receive the 1,500 miles per 1-month introductory subscription with no limitation on the number of introductory offers you sign up for.
The new T&C language, which wasn't there before and was only added in the last day or so, states:
The new T&C language, which wasn't there before and was only added in the last day or so, states:
Only 2700 AAdvantage Miles permitted per AAdvantage member within a 12 month period. Sign up bonus miles will be added to your account at the fourth renewal. Cancellations prior to the fourth renewal are not eligible for the 1500 bonus sign-up miles. One subscription per member per year.
Thoughts?
