Grand Slam 2013: Advance Discussion
Summer is coming soon, so will Grand Slam 2013. Are you guys well prepared for the promotion of the year? I spoke to Sister Nancy in NYC about the future food deliveries and she is looking forward. And I also accumulated some points on my Choice account.

Well the Grand Slam promotion did not run last year so I wouldn't expect it to run this year, especially with the merger taking place this fall.
|
don't think there will be one. Plus US has been selling promo miles pretty much non stop
|
Yeah I'd plan carefully so that I wasn't stuck with 6 useless prepaid car reservations. Maybe it happens, maybe it don't, but since they nixed it last year, I personally wouldn't invest any money, and not very much time, into pre-planning for this one. E-rewards I'd do; buying hotel points or diverting stays to lesser programs just for the sake of the points, I wouldn't.

Grand Slam was more of a Fall promotion than Summer. But I think the bloggers (Mommy Points, etc.) destroyed the promo in the eyes of US Airways, so I don't expect it back again.

Grand Slam 2013: Advance Discussion
Does anyone on the forum have an inside connection to US marketing?
|
I have my fingers crossed that there will be one last hurrah before the merger. I need the extra PQM points as I will struggle to make gold this year.
|
Anything is possible, but the Grand Slam was about revenue and pumping the number of elites up. The merger is going to cover both pretty well - not that many dual elites (AA and US) given different alliances and AA is going to exit bankruptcy with a tidy sum (plus the ability to sell more new equity/borrow via convertible bonds).

I would rather see double miles (PQM) like last year.

I hear they are typing their resumes up for the merger and not worrying about Grand Slam..... Jim also mentioned that the merger will likely solve the problem...
