Okay, I have sent in the stuff to get the E*trade account opened. If all goes well, I will have earned 17,500 Click Miles (convertible 1 to 1 for frequent flyer miles) for:
1)purchasing a ticket on Preview Travel (that I was already needed, have used, and was charged to a client):
2) Put $1000 into an E*trade account--money market fund, haven't had to pay any trade commissions; and
3) Will purchase book or CD to make sure I have the additional qualifying purchase.
All in all, should be a great way to earn 17,500 FF miles. Will report again.
