Best sign on bonus for NorthWest and MCI
What is the best sign on bonus for NorthWest and MCI?
I have heard that it is something like 3,000 miles, and 5miles per $1.00 in long distance.
The 3,000 miles seems kind of chincy compared with what Sprint has given at times.
(10,000; 20,000; 40,000).

I'm currently getting 10K (over 5 months) with UA. I would suggest that you ask for 10K NW miles. Here is a thread which mentions the 10K offers for other airlines.

If you are not flying NW during the fly free faster 2 promo, you may want to defer the signup until ater May 1.

Whoooooa Nelly. NW and MCI pull out all the stops in the latest LD program. Get a whopping 1,000 miles each of the first two months as sign up bonus with MCI, then 5 WP miles per $ spent on MCI's overpriced LD service. Good ol Sprint don't look too bad now huh!

Now if only NWA would decide to include Earthlink sign-ups for a qualifying activity...

Not to mention the 7 points/$ for Elite members and the opportunity to have the Monthly Fee waived if you are a PCS customer and all the miles I earn with PCS.

Derf, what monthly fee can you have waived with PCS, and how do you go about getting it waived? Thanks for your assistance.

Edited for clarity.
