Mileage Plus had a special with a wine club, 400 miles per $1 spent. I racked up over 400K miles and all posted without a problem. I'm hoping for that one to come back. Many Doctors I work with wanted wine for family and friends..

The wine clubs - I joined one last year. $10, got some cheap wine, canceled membership. Had to keep begging for miles but they finally showed.
The other wine club - many of us bought a cheap product from the website without joining the club. It said X miles per $1 and didn't say club membership required. However, we had to fight to get those miles since the club didn't want to award miles since we hadn't joined.
