I would like to know how tenacious extended his subscription to 08. i thought you could only get three x 2 months subs at a time. mine will be expiring soon and i do know if i start a new one or if there is something i do to renew- i guess the end result would be the same unless i started getting 2 issues a day. I sent my son a subs and now i dont know when that will expire and would like to use orphan miles to extend his too. Any help will be appreciated

I did this at some point, and recently rediscovered this gem. When I called up and tried to sign up, they told me I was no longer eligible since I had already done it once.

the trick i discovered is to sign up for a 3 month sub, let it "expire" (usually it will continue for 3 months more)... as soon as the paper stops delivery (6 months total), sign up again. works like a charm...
i would rather pay for the "free" 3 months, but there is no easy way to do it using miles. once i renewed after the 3 months, but kept getting the renewal notices anyway (and the miles got deducted too!!!).

Or maybe all of our accounts were flagged incorrectly when we signed up with miles and we have an expiration date of 2014.

These offers don't work in Hawaii. I got a nice note saying there wouldn't be any newspaper coming, but didn't get my miles back.
