Extra mile bonus for 2008?
Has anyone seen anything about the extra mile bonus being offered again in 2008? Last year there was news of this in October. With the EMB you purchase extra mile which are given at 50% of flight miles.

I called in to OPSC to get credit for missing Extra Mile bonus miles and the CSR mentioned one that had started in November, but I can't find it under "News and Deals" on the co.com website. You might just call and ask.

I've been wondering about it too. Hope it's back for 2008! It's a cheap way to add some miles to the account if you fly enough to max it out.

I just did my annual January hunt for the extra-mile signup bonus on the OnePass Offers portion of the website, and...nothing, nada, zilch 
Guess that easy avenue for mileage-earning has evaporated. Not cool.

There was a deadline that you had to purchase it by December 31, 2007. Before that it was up; after that it evaporated.
