I need 69 miles to top off my account
I'm short just 69 miles for a business class ticket to africa.
I don't have a affiliated credit card.
I don't need the miles immediately although sooner would be better.
I could get dining miles but the only participating restaurant close by I'd rather not go to.
Any survey or something like that I could take to get 100 miles?
Thanks in advance!!

What's the timeline? If you have three weeks, do Microsoft Live Search Club, get 250 points, redeem for 100 miles. if you need them now, the option is probably to buy 2,000.

Go to hotspex.com and sign up. Then do a few simple surveys and you can trade the points through points.com for however many DL miles it works out to be. You should be able to get at least the 69 miles you need.

Same for erewards.com. Also, whoever mentioned points.com, I think I received 100 miles just for signing up. Also, do you have a hotel stay any time soon? You could credit miles to DL, or double-dip miles to DL with Hilton (points+fixed miles = 500 miles per stay, 100 miles at Hampton/Homewood). Also, currently with hotel partners until 11/30/08 you'll receive 1000 bonus skymiles for your first stay, 2500 for your second stay, and 5000 for your third stay.

Thanks
I joined points.com and received 10 points for joining.
Bought some printer ink at a linked store to get the rest of the needed miles.
Question.......how long before the miles show up in my Delta account?
Thanks again!
