"If you are signed up for miles in your profile, you will only receive miles in your account and only for specific promotions that are related to miles."
Damn! I know I saw a couple of promos that specifically mentioned receiving miles in the normal ratio even though they were points promos, but as I don't have that level of detail for all of these promos I guess I should stick to points. Points sounds more fun anyway - these promos are crazy!

Radioman, can you correct the first post?
American Express MR - pls add Finland, transfers at the rate of 1 MR = 1 PC point
Diners Club - pls delete Finland, cannot transfer points to PC. DC Finland confirmed that since April 2008 it's not been possible (next update in April 2009)

I've managed to take advantage of the 2 for 1 on an upcoming trip, but I'm getting strange results when I try at another location.
For Istanbul, HI Airport any Friday - Sunday stay in February 2009 is showing Exclusive 2 for 1 rates of €110 as the average nightly rates. When I click through to reserve it still shows as €110 per night = total €220 + tax.
Shouldn't this be €55 per night = total €110 + tax?
For reference the "Best Flexible Rate" is €110.
Anyone think this is a glitch or does Turkey not count as Europe in terms of this promotion (I don't see why the rate would show up at all if that were the case)?

Thanks again, Radioman!
That said, I'm not impressed with the point haul announced to date for 1Q 2009, assuming you only plan to stay 4 or 5 times. Much skimpier than 1Q 2008, despite an economy in the big time dumps. 5K points instead of 15K to stay 4 times, no 15K to stay 5 times at HI/HIX in North America (vs. the 4Q 2008 special promo), just 3K bonus points per 3 stays special promo (vs. Hyatt and Starwood's much more lucrative promos).

To my knowledge, all point/miles promotions conflict. If you are signed up for miles in your profile, you will only receive miles in your account and only for specific promotions that are related to miles. PC will not give you any credit for points promotions that you register for.
So a few points bonuses (apparently, just the simple ones) work for miles accounts. Not enough to get excited about, though.

Australian Amex MR transfers to PC at the rate of 1000 MR = 600 PC. Once in a while they do bonuses, like for April-May 2008 you could get 1000 MR = 900 PC.

Thanks a lot, Radioman, for the continuing work on the Promo-thread! :-:
I've made this one sticky and did un-stick the 2008 thread.
