Miles for internet access service?

I know Greenpoints has a deal where you earn 15,000 GP's (can convert into 3,000 Alaska miles) when signing up for Earthlink internet access.

I was wondering if anyone knew of any other ISP's that offer miles for signing up (just like the long distance companies!)

I believe that NW has the same deal for EarthLink.

Just received a NW Promo - with a sign-up bonus of 5,000 points I think, and ongoing points - 5 per dollar. Don't have it in front of me so I'm not sure, but will check.

Also Marriott offers 4,000 points for signing up with AT&T's i495 Worldnet service for $4.95 per month, must maintain service for 2 months.

One of the other boards mentioned airline miles as an alternative for the AT&T service.

AT&T also has some deals. Here's an old link, but they have similar offers currently.

A 4000 mile offer came with my NWA Worldperks VISA bill this month. It says "you'll instantly earn 4000 Bonus Miles when you sign up with Earthlink Internet Service.*"
Then in teeny tiny small print at the bottom it says "A 2000 mile bonus will be deposited in your WorldPerks account within 8 weeks of your second and fourth Earthlink invoices."

Doesn't sound like instant earning to me. And good luck getting through to their customer service when the miles don't post.

Earthlink = Sprint = trickery, deceit
