So, for this newbie, what is the best procedure to sign up? Should I go to the individual airline's website and click through that link, or should I just go to the idine site and sign up there? I have a few credit cards I plan to use. It is nice to be able to spread miles around, just to keep various ones from expiring, but I was not sure if that was possible without signing up multiple times.
I have accounts with most everyone, but tend to fly US mostly, just because I gre up in Buffalo. I am thinking of shifting most of my earning to UA, but also have accounts with AA, Delta and Continental.
Go to each airline's site and sign up with idine (or Rewards Network or whatever they now call it) there. But remember - you can ONLY register each credit card ONCE.
So if you only have 1 Amex, you can only register it with (say) DL - that same AMEX can not be registered with CO! But if you have 2 AMEX cards, you can register 1 with DL and the other with CO.
It's up to you which airline you want to earn with. Remember that both US and UA are *A, and both DL and CO are Sky Team, so you can "earn and burn" with either member.
I agree, it is an easy way to keep miles from expiring. I have 4 credit cards, registered with UA, US, DL and NW.
