Visited BonusMail today, and they made a big improvement for us frequent travelers!

They've added a "VacationMiles" reward. These VacationMiles can be redeemed for AAdvantage Miles, discount coupons on Delta and AA, hotel stays at Marriott or Hyatt, and Hertz rental cars among other things (I think they have a cruise reward too ...).

This is definitely a big improvement considering they were only offering Alaska Air miles for a long while.

Of course the bad thing is I had given up and redeemed for a Macy's gift certificate just last week ... oh well.

(BTW, if you're not already signed up for BonusMail and you want to sign up, follow this link:

It will get me BonusMail points, or just say that [email protected] referred you when you sign up at http://www.bonusmail.com)

(Sorry for stealing your business MilageAddict )

Thanks for the BonusMail info, Beckles. Sorry
that I am already a member otherwise I would
have used you as my reference.

When I joined them a little while ago, I wrote them saying it would be nice if they
had more frequent flyer and added hotel programs for those of us who don't like to
shop. Don't remember if they responded but
evidently a lot of folks did.

It will take awhile to build up all those
points for miles, but here's another way
(like ClickRewards) to top off an account!

If I don't go for the miles, I'm eyeing the
gift certificate from Target since Wal Mart's
too far from my house. Or the Macaroni
Grill certificate. I don't mind shopping, when I HAVE TO. CATMAN

I'm just glad they added at least a few more options. When I first signed up for the program they had more than one airline ff mile award available (United and American I think), and those are the awards I signed up to earn for ... then for a while they had no awards at all for ff miles ... then for a while they've only had Alaskan Airlines awards (which they claimed you could use on how many ever airlines, but we all know how useful that really is).

Beckles,

I take no offense to your"competition". All of you guys here have provided me with a vast number of items to post at my website. I suppose the internet is big enough for the two of us.

BonusMail owes me over 6 months worth of referral credits! They admit in an email that they have been lax in updating their records and informed me two weeks ago that they would fix it soon. They still haven't. I figure they owe me thousands of points. BonusMail is definetly not the most efficient incentive marketing organization on the web.

BonusMail has been slow at posting any credits related to answering those e-mails
sent to your e-mail address. (I'm owed 250
points for buying the video of Titanic starring the great Kate Winset and what's his name. A stocking stuffer/gift for surprise
gift giver) SO like you Mileage Addict, I'm waiting for credits.

I think I used you as the reference for Bonus
Mail so I hope you get your points. I can't
remember if I used a reference but I signed
up for BonusMail before Beckles posted this
bulletin (wish I could give it to you BOTH!)

But I'm certain it will be awhile before
I'll be able to claim any ff mileage. SO I
may the Target certificate and call it a deal. CATMAN

In the past, I have cashed in BonusMail points for Target gift certificates as well. BonusMail is quick about mailing out rewards. At this point, I figure they owe me enough points to buy a Target store!
