netflix 2000miles or wait for better?
well, I procrastinated and missed the netflix 2500 mile bonus by 1 day. I now see that there is a 2000 bonus on the 20th anniversary offers on aa.com.
Does anyone with past experience think the 2500 will return or should I take the 2000 and run? If this is the wrong forum.....SORRY!

Yes. I first signed up, got the bonus and then cancelled after a month. My partner signed up for it and added APT. 1 in the address (my home address has no apartment number). He got the bonus miles too.

they are having a really hard time competing against blockbuster with its dumping prices at the moment. That could go two ways - increase marketing (and miles) or cut back in marketing until blockbuster has bled itself to death... Or they come up with a major innovation (such as working streaming video) that is much better than blockbuster...

Do you have the link for the 3,000 miles United offer? I couldn't find it on the United Forum. The best I could find was a 2,000 miles offer.

As you can see, it's 4000 if you pay with a United Mileage Plus credit card*, but only 2000 if you pay with any other card.
*It's not clear to me if any Mileage Plus credit card qualifies. In my case, I only have a Bronze one (the one with no annual fee).
That only gets 1 mile per 2$ spent, so normally I just keep it in a drawer, but if it were to work for this promo I might dig it out, since the bonus miles would far outweigh the couple miles less for the actual purchase. (But OTOH I'd be real mad if I only got the 2000, which I could have gotten also at AA.)

I know nothing about a 3000 mile deal, but here's the current 2000/4000 deal (found in a few seconds by Googling "United Netflix 4000", which produced a Smarter Travel site that had the link):

I have a new (2nd card) which I'll use to sign up for this (going to cancel my BBOnline account).
