10,000 Honors Points for free through Midwest Airlines
http://www.midwestairlines.com/MAWeb...spx?itemId=330
5,000 Midwest Miles show up within a few days. Transferable to HHonors at 1:2 rate ^
Don't forget to put in that 60000-62999 zip code though otherwise it won't work! For those doing a few flights with Midwest after two returns you'll get another 15,000 bonus miles (30,000 HH points)
Did a quick search and didn't come up with anything. Found it buried in the PC/IC forum here

Can I open one of these midest accounts, get 5000 miles and then close it down?

So it seems we have two trains of thought, some people have said it was easy and possible, and others have said you need to fly to transfer? 
And when people say 'make sure they can verify' the address surely you don't mean any more than read it off?
Apologies for appeared duplicate. I did a search but didn't read far enough into the thread to discover it was mentioned elsewhere

SgtRyan,
I have done this using my Oz address and using Springfield and its ZIP code and all went smoothly.
Couple of days after the points hit my account, I called and successfully transferred the points to HHonors with no problems, all without flying (wouldn't even know what a MidWest plane looks like
)

I wonder if it's only coincidence that Midwest's website has been down for account summaries all day.....

Well I managed to get the miles (both for my wife and myself ) using a Chicago adress. Should I change my adres information into my real adres now before I call midwest to transfer the miles to my HHonors account?
