I must admit that, while I wish the SWUs were more obtainable, I'm glad that NW has listened to its customers. I think the new promotion is fun and at offers some good rewards.

I must say, I found the bonus mile awards to be a bit strange. Who in their right mind would pick 20,000 miles over two SWUs???

Also, the SE giveaway at 60,000 EQM seems a bit low. Talk about elite inflation, every Platinum and probably most Golds will be able to nominate a friend as Silver Elite. I'm really surprised NW offered elite status giveaways at such low levels.
