"Special Thanks" mailer from Club Carlson - 1000 free bonus points
Recd in today's
1) Go to www.yourgiftfromcountry.com
2) Enter your Email address, Acct # then code "THANKYOU"

I scored 1,000 points though it says "7-10 business days" to post. Not sure if this is a YMMV.

Brace yourselves for plastering of the BA front page from the cut/paste bloggers in 3....2.....1..... You know who you are so at least have the decency to quote your source.

Seems to be targeted, entered the infos along with my account number and code, says its not valid, no offers for my account

Hey Preacher, I just noticed your new profile comments:
Programs: No status, just 12M points to burn...

Amazing, simply amazing!

I still remember the guy trying to belittle people like us who churn for points, about how we we don't know the value/cost of points, and implying that we don't fly as much J/F as the guys who pay for the front of the plane. :D
Here, this post at the TD Aero Visa thread:

Nice to see that Alaska Airlines have reduced the rewards mileage redemption rate!

It's not really a pure drop, it's a more dynamic award chart. Availability of the absolute lowest rates requires the cheaper revenue fare buckets to be available

Update: Starwood is claiming this was a glitch, and that it should be updated soon. I guess we’ll see — clearly something is up, though


....there's still hope!
