good day,

for what's it worth, you can get up to 14,500 miles at nwa by switching your telephone(s) to sprint. you will have to pay some bucks for it however. here is the url:
http://www.nwa.com/freqfly/direct/enrol/

and here is a gist of the situation:
[*] Sign up for Sprint Nickel NightsSM and earn up to 10,000 Bonus Miles (5,000 miles applied 6 to 8 weeks after your first and sixth invoice).


. . . their nickel nights plan will cost you 5.95 per month
[*] Sign up for Sprint Toll FreeSM service and earn up to 2,000 Bonus Miles (1,000 miles applied 6 to 8 weeks after first and sixth invoice).


. . . the toll-free option costs you 4.00 per month
[*] You will earn 5 miles for every dollar spent on Sprint services (excluding taxes, credits and surcharges).


. . . baby miles

so, if you pay about 10.00 per month to sprint for 2 or 3 months ($20 to $30) you will wind up with 6,000 miles + 500 miles (for signing up online) + your baby miles.

if you stay with sprint for the 6 or 7 months (paying them $60 to $70 altogether) you wind up getting another 6,000 miles + baby miles

(you can get another 2,000 by switching a second line . . . 500 + 6,000 + 6000 + 2000 = 14,500 + baby miles).

you obviously have to decide if this long distance plan is worth your time and wallet.

take care
