Does Verizon Wireless have any relationships with airlines or hotels that give miles for signing onto their service?

Not Verizon but Voicestream seems to be doing a mileage deal. Their only partnership that I'm aware of is with Continental OnePass. Here's the link to their deal:

You can earn 5000 DL, NW, SW, UA or US miles with Nextel

I think the offer with NW is for 6,000 bonus miles vs. 5,000 for the rest of them. While they say 5,000 miles on their Web site, here's the text from an email directly from Northwest noting the 6,000 mile offer. It might be for elite members only but still worth asking about if you're making the call.....er, move to Nextel.
