Implementing miles reward on a website
I want to induce potential customers to use my online product by offering miles.
Can anyone tell me how I can do this? Is there a service where i can just "hook up" to so I can implement this online?
Thanks in advance.

Most airlines sell miles in bulk to companies for just the purpose you describe. Details for each airline can be found on their respective websites.
As an example, UA has a program called Reward Miles. Miles are sold at the rate of 2.5 cents/mile and the minimum purchase is 60,000 miles for $1500.

The problem here is that I only want to offer 1,000 miles and have no need to purchase 60,000 miles.
Also, it would be nice to have a selection of FFP so that the end user can pick and choose which airline FFP s/he wants.
