Today, I received a letter comping my daughter to Silver until Dec 15. She used to be silver two years ago but had only one trip this year. No status in whatever other program, not as a 7 year old!

Last Year...
 

I got the same letter because I was Holiday Inn Gold. I signed up for it, and used it to U/G once, but sent all my miles to DL so it didn't really help me that much.

MR Gold and got the offer. I took them up on it even though I most likely will never use it. But you never know what trips come up. At least I'd have shot at being up front.

Man this is a nice promo...

Does anyone have the link to this? I got the mailing too, but can't find it anymore and unfortunately I am stuck flying NWA to MSP every now and than, til the end of the year.

Thanks in advance!

You did see that the post before yours is from September, 2005, right?

Ironic but its on again
 

Kind of ironic but I am currently participating in this promo now. Received my invite from HHonors DI status and took them up on it. Flying DCA-MKE on Wednesday and already confirmed upgrade to the front.

They must have had some success if they are doing the same list again this year.

Very nice, congratulations! Did you get the 5 trip to Gold challenge as well?

Got mine with spg gold

Mailed to me for last 3 yrs
 

Around Labor day, because of National Emerald club status. I'm usually 1/2-3/4 way to GE by then so no thanks. Not this year: less trvl, I didn't fly NW untill they quit that select choice BS on the elites, so I was at 19 segs/low teens mileage when I got this letter. Fall is always tough on me to plan a lot of flying and w/UA's dble eqm offering I'm focusing on keeping 1K status. So the nice thing about this promo is I don't have to get the 5 rndtrps in for GE this year I have UNTIL FEB 28 OF 2007 to qualify for 2007-Feb2008. In theory I can keep my GE status till 2-28-2007 and fly 5 rnd trips mclass and above on the 27-28 and voila! GE for 2007! Not that I would wait that long. Plus I have e-certs that will knock off $100 tikt. In fact I did one T-giving eve, ORD/DTW, about 4 hrs or so rnd trip. About 433$ with e-cert but it was B-class so 50% mileage bonus. With the GE status, 50% mileage, Supersize and 5000 miles rndtrip bonus offer, I recvd 8500 miles. I've seen some m-class or or B-class out of DTW for 370-400$ after figuring in e-cert discounts. I know a lot of people are figuring "2000$ for GE status and a lousy 7500 eqms? 4 runs to Europe wilkl give me the same and net me 40k plus for the same price! But I'm limited on time so can pull the trigger just this once on this offer and start fresh nxt year.
