In August I did 3 stays on points and in 2 I spent some money in drinks/laundry but no M&M points have been credited.
Happened the same in a similar promo at the beginning of the year.

That is a targeted offer. I think they tend to send them out towards the end of the year, so it makes sense that you received it now.

My challenge is 138k status miles for Oct to Dec...
Seems they based it on the amount one is flying.

They used to run similar promos two or three times a year as you will see in this post.

Hey folks,

So I just booked a flight now using the nice 25x miles promo for November.

One of the flights is SIN -> HKG on Cathay Pacific. For this flight I would like to credit it to BAEC but I am terrified i'll screw up the promotion.

Any suggestions on how to do it? or think I should just leave it...

Ta!

In principle it should work. This said, I wouldn't risk it.

I just checked again and found this which I have not seen before. (Click The Economist logo on the front page.)




12,000 miles for £179 sounds a little better than the previous offer. Digital or print only subscriptions cost £145 but only give 9,600 miles. I've checked a few other countries but couldn't find a similar offer.

My survey results so far:

India: 6k INR for 4500 miles, 10k INR for 9000, 7.5k for 6000
US: 152$ for 7500, 190$ for 9000, 455$ for 18000, 365$ for 13500

Just open the following link in private browsing modus (replace IN with the country code)

I just got the 10,800 miles for €229 print only subscription in Belgium. Not too bad.

Thanks for the feedback Oliver!

However, when trying to subscribe to the Indian offer (with an Indian IP, based here), the sign-up process seems to be blocked/not correctly coded on their website, stopping at the payment information option. (Only Billing address is able to be inputted as an option with a radio button, but even then after hitting continue, one is not able to obtain the payment fields - it shows only "Payment Information"...weird.

(Used Firefox first in Private Browsing, then with Opera in Private Browsing...)

I’m still surprised you all subscribe to such bad offers. I won’t go near those rates. Trouble is, the more people are happy to use them the less likely it is that they will offer decent mileage ratios. Each to his own, I suppose. Having said that, I have made use of the Swiss COOP Trophy shopping stamp collecting promotion, which is a bad rate too TBH. But I’m cutting right back from now on.

Hi Concerto,
Nothing extraordinary, but still a bit better than the 17.45/1000 miles rates from the the trophy stamp, coop has right now a points to miles conversion promotion at basically 15.-/1000 miles (it's currently being discussed in the VFT).

I didn't go for this offer this time, but if I would subscribe to the Economist anyway (IMHO their product is really good) the miles are a nice add on gift. Note that many can get a refund for such a subscription from work or charge it to their business.

Can anyone advise if I am using the wrong browser and or web addresses to subscribe to the Indian offer of the Economist?
