Spirit giving out easy 1,000 miles (lottery-mania tie-in promo)
 
Link to page

They say it'll post in 14 days. About as easy as it gets if you already have an account, and they also want to use it to sign up new ones.

Even if you don't fly, you could use it on something like magazines. Spirit has a pretty aggressive expiration policy for non cardholders, so if you're in that situation it's best to burn as soon as you can.

Very cool, thanks! :cool:

They had some type of similar program a couple of years ago where I earned 5,000 miles. Iirc, they expired/I lost them in about 12 days (OK, maybe 6-12 months, but very quickly). And given their methods of operations, I'd never fly them. I'm sorry I gave them my email/address to sell.

Thank you.

I would never fly Spirit either but I'll gladly take their miles to keep my recycling bin full of fresh magazines. And I did enjoy the Bare Fare striptease promo last year.

I'm sure there would be a fee for that.

Thank you Rusty. Any idea if the addition of these miles would constitute activity to keep existing miles from expiring?

Has anyone ever redeemed spirit miles successfully?

I looked for T&Cs with an expiration date so that I could include that but didn't find any. Was skeptical that they'd beep it up long enough to actually give away 1.6 billion miles (They'd need 1.6 million account-holders to click on it). Some blogs picked it up and I googled those to see if they had better links, but it all went to the same spot as you mentioned.

So, sad to say, it could be dead. Cheers to those who got in.

Looks like mine posted Tuesday, 12 days after submitting.

Maybe the 14-day stated time it took to post was a clue that they didn't intend to leave the offer up very long. If memory serves, previous mile giveaways from them also didn't stay up long.
