Arik Air Nigeria Launches its Frequent Flyer Programme
I quote: "As well as earning and redeeming on flights, the scheme also allows customers to redeem miles for excess baggage vouchers. Arik currently offers one of the largest allowances in the industry (2 x 30kgs on long-haul flights) and Arik WingsPlus will afford even more opportunity to add another 30kgs to the allowance."

Yes, you can actually ride a nasty, spitting camel for 500 Emirates Skywards miles, but no extra points are awarded if it bites you.:eek:

On the other hand, you do get one mile for every mile the camel travels. Mike |

Are those butt in hump miles (bim) or butt in saddle (bis) miles? Either way, it sounds like 1st class pain in the a*s. Still waiting to get confirmed on that FB friend request, btw. ;) We'll be back in LAS in Dec. Start the Do plans now.

Now through August 25, 2011, earn 3 miles for every dollar you spend at the Koloa Rum Company or through the Koloa Rum Company’s e-store, earn triple miles whether you purchase their award-winning rum at the Company Store or their rum-inspired products through their e-store.

Just When You Thought You Knew All the Angles...
Just when you thought you had figured every angle to get points and miles from a credit card...
DENVER (AP) — Two men are accused of driving around town with a dead friend in the car, running up a bar tab on his account and eventually using his ATM card to withdraw $400 at a strip club. Police say the two men used Jarrett's card to pay for the drinks on Aug. 27, noting "they did not have Jarrett's consent." Rubinson and Young then drove to another restaurant to hang out, Jarrett's body slumped in the back along for the ride, police say. They then returned to Jarrett's home, carried him in and put him in bed, according to court papers. From there, police say, Rubinson and Young went to get gas and made a stop at a burrito joint, again using Jarrett's card. The two men then went to a strip club, where authorities say they used Jarrett's card to take out $400 from an ATM and flagged down a police officer to tell him they thought their friend was dead. Police went to Jarrett's home and found the body. |

Need Surgery and Want to Get Some Miles?
You get the procedure and you get the miles!
In Turkey, of course! Memorial Healthcare Group promises "You can earn miles for all medical treatments." All you have to do is show your Miles&Smiles card at the time of payment. But be warned, in Turkey while money is accepted, they don't take payments originated by the US Mint. You can earn miles only for cash and credit card payments. Wire transfer, check, or money order customers need not apply! They gotta prevent clear abuse and misuse of their program!:D |
Happy Birthday!
Bangkok Airways wishes to inform you that you if you take a flight in your birth month you are entitled to receive a bonus 20 points!

Crime really does pay (in frequent flyer miles)!
SpyEye (HTML Injection) malware has been connected to a recently discovered attack on customers of Air Berlin.
SpyEye is able to intercept web pages on an infected system and add code into the HTML file before it is displayed to the site visitor. The malware was being directed to harvest account information with the aim of harvesting account frequent flyer miles. |
US Airways will give you miles for surgery, but only for Lasik eye surgery.
Most of the airlines now have shopping malls, which generally have have a few oddball retailers in them. So Skymall's perennial favorite, the Bigfoot statue, isn't your only option. I see that I can get 44 US Airways miles for buying the Male Power Big Man Mesh Wonder Thong. |
