I am impressed with your nice double-dipping and triple-tipping. They were 2 distinct promos (I believe) so maybe both will stand (I meekly get the 2x one). You are my FT FF HERO OF THE DAY.

I got it too, and couldn't believe my eyes when I saw the statement. In my case, I signed up for double miles, then heard about triple miles in this forum and signed up, thinking that would trump double miles.
Geez, if I had known this, it would have been nothing but mileage runs for me!

What is the registration number for both offers? Can somebody briefly tell me the terms of both offers. Sorry I am a little behind on CO offers after making Platinum this year. Concentrating on US now since I moved to Philly this year. Thanks in advance for your information.

The promotion ended 11/15. I registered both but only get the triple mile bonus. I also got the "ROUTE MILEAGE BONUS" but don't know what it is and never registered for it.

I got 100,000+ miles last month. And 28,000 yesterday. As soon as I get a statement, or I die, whichever comes first... I'll share which ones I got.

I was wondering what this routing bonus thingy is...
I saw the miles go into my account and I said "i'm not saying a thing."
Don't remember signing up for it or seeing it anywhere, but it's a nice 12K bonus miles.
Not as much as my buddy cigarman's, but thanks for your generousity.,

Very dumb question here:
Do these bonus miles count toward your flight credit miles? or just non-flight miles?

The bonus counts toward CO elite status. The bonus also counts toward UA 1K, SPG Platinum and British knighthood.

Not sure WHY someone posted this, but "I want to thank you for bringing this to my attention. I will forward it to the appropriate departments to check accounts and remove any miles that were not eligible to be earned." Thanks for pointing out the "glitch." I assume all were eligible, otherwise "awesome" will become "awful."
I'm being facetious...I don't work for CO and will never post again, but let's let this thread drop, folks. Promotions are over. This thread is over, I hope.

Well, if you're not ever going to post again...I haven't really gotten into a big old flame war in two weeks. So I guess it would be okay to mock you...
May 40 pounds of TRI COLOR PASTA fall upon your fake CO employee head. May you never fly the 777 in biz first. May you be banished to ATR's for the next year. May you fly North West...well that may be a bit harsh! Okay, I feel better...
