I've never been one to complain about blogs killing deals, but I do foresee this happening now that this has been posted to BoardingArea.

Indeed, I wouldn't be surprised to see a retroactive reneg on the deal and/or "clarification" once this becomes all of the bloggers' "amazing deal alert" of the day. At least one of the BA bloggers credited the OP of this thread, chances are most won't even do that.

Thanks for the post. Wife and I are in. I'm actually enjoying my subscription.

So much so, we might get a few more...

Must I actually reply to the NYT.com emails for the miles, or can I ignore them once the purchase is made?

I received an initial e-mail - asking that I click on the given link to confirm my e-mail address. I would think that any subsequent e-mails could be ignored (since your account would already have been set up and confirmed).

Oh wow, Thanks for the links and making the efforts to look up all of the major airlines.

still afraid of the clawbacks even if the miles do post early.... though I'm hopeful since the netflix promo never had clawbacks.

for the AA link, it'll first ask you for a zip code. enter a fake zipcode where NYTimes doesnt do home delivery. '86753' seemed to work, as does many others in extreme rural remote areas. then the portal will offer you the 99 cent digital promo.

Anyone know if there are controls by FF account number or emails (limit of one each?).

Somehow I'd assume each FF account # should be limited to one, but stranger things happen all the time.

The bigger question is why bloggers did not post about this before. This is not a new deal. It's been around for some time. Do they really just lurk on FT and post whatever good deals they see? I think that is generally the case.

How can you sign up for the AA 1500 miles deal when you already signed up for the UA 1500 miles?
