Here's the details on the Delta SkyMiles/Direct TV offer. Call 866-788-0005 to get a FREE Direct TV system and FREE installation. There's a $24.95 S&H fee and for new customers only. You'll earn a one-time bonus of 500 SkyMiles for the offer.... "have your SkyMiles membership number handy"

You can pay your SWB bill by credit card now with NO surcharge. They don't seem to be publicizing this, but the rep I just spoke with said they have been accepting CC's since last Sept. The number for payments is 800-616-1171. It is VISA/MC only though.
Oddly enough, although you can set up online billing with SWB, the only online payment option is EFT from your checking.

AT&T Broadband/Cable offers Continental Miles:

Perhaps you could earn additonal miles, if AT&T Broadband offers credit card payments with a mileage affinity card.

Cablevision now offers credit card payments online, the system is a BIT buggy but it works a good 90% of the time ... which in Cablevision world is near perfection.... BTW The Wiz was sold off then liquidated, and then company who bought them is reopening (very slowly) in all former Wiz locations as "Electronics Expo." These new stores are very very nice .. kinda boutique type store.. very nice ... Hope someone can make money and stay in business locally...

Time Warner in Houston lets you pay by CC, as others have already mentioned. I like that it's not an automatic charge every month -- I pay it when I want. That way, it's not automatically paid even if there's a dispute on the bill (which thankfully hasn't happened in a while).

southwest airlines
I signed up for a MCI Neighborhood home phone service about a year ago SOLELY because they had a deal with Southwest where you accrued points (for miles) every 200 dollars you spent. But it ended up being a rip off -- I never ever saw those points and I flew Southwest a lot in the past year.
