@Ant4fatony, signup for the new amazon payments system. Make sure you verify your email and bank account asap. Then, arrange a transfer partner (wife,sister,brother,friend) to also setup a amazon payments account (make sure they verify both email and bank account). After you both have your accounts setup you can send this person 1,000.00 per month. You receive 1000 miles on your mileage credit card, then that person withdraws the money and gives it back to you(very important). lol rinse and repeat (once a month)

As of today amazon is not charging the sender or receiver of these funds, but that could change anytime ... especially with people abusing the service by setting up multiple accounts. Word of advice, setup one account, stick to the 1,000 maximum per month, and you should be fine until amazon changes the terms of the deal or your credit card company closes your account :td:

Easy 12,000 miles / yr

Don't get excited that this will last too long. They'll be charging soon. Also, my wife's account and mine have been frozen. Good luck.

FYI people are reporting amazon closing their account despite supposedly following the T&C.

To paraphrase an old Dire Straits song:

"miles for nothing,
and chicks for free?"


where do I sign up?

no such thing as free miles, but
 

when airlines lose your bag (delta is a good example) for a signifigant amount of time, you can push them hard by claiming you'll go to another FF program. You may get miles out of it. I recently got 20k from Delta for this.

'miles for nothing,
& credit cards for free'....

AlohaDaveKennedy: volunteering for AMEX Membership Rewards? I didn’t understand that. What will be its criteria?

Applying for the card perhaps?

That's the Way You Do It
 

I want my, I want my, I want my MR Free!

The AA eShopping toolbar allows you to earn miles for doing Yahoo! searches on the web. Three web searches = 1 mile, with a max of 100 mi per month.

From the press release:

"volunteer their time to a worthy cause and get rewarded through Membership Rewards® Bonus Points certificates"

it doesn't work most of the time....i am yet to see miles from searches conducted earlier this year....

I have seen like 6 miles from it. Then again I tend to use google to do searches.

that's 6 miles more than me....:D
