they don't show it anywhere online, but you also get an extra 1000 miles for getting a $1 a month calling card with sprint.

Thanks for the link, Barefoot. It does come up with 5K miles.
Tenacious, how did you sign up (phone, web, others), and if I may ask, which state?

Just signed up with Sprint for a 10K bonus as follows:

5K for sign-up + 5K for tagging the accout to my MP Visa card e.g. payments done by credit card.

1st 5K to post after 1st invoice, second 5K to post after 6th invoice.

Thanks again, Tenacious.

cesco.g, thanks for this post. I called Sprint back to change my plan so I could get the 10k over 6 months instead of 10. When I called the first time I was told this program had expired at the end of June.

Do we dare burst the bubble - regarding the bait and switch redemption rates, or is that a problem unique to Continental - Very Little Standard Award Availability ??????

Think of how much effort this requires, and how much more you'll be paying for long distance vs. some of the 3c/minute low/no fee long distance carriers.

I make my calls on www.onesuite.com for 2.5 cents/min with no fees or taxes of any kind. Been using them for about 4 years now; best LD deal I've found.

So sign up because the miles are cheap for the minimum price you would have to pay, and use a dial around or phone call to actually make calls.

I Called United this week and was also told that the extra card bonus promotion ended on June 30th.

Of course, a mailing I got in early June said the promotion was 'ongoing'.

Where do you get the 3000 mile bonus? I don't see the sign up bonus mentioned on their site.

Please note that this promotion guarantees at least 500 MP miles though you can win up to 3000 miles. You may want to edit your post accordingly.

Also, do you have a link for the 3k bonus for signing up a new account? I know a friend that could use this. Thanks!

Sorry if my question is a repeat, but how can one get the 3000 mile signup for a new account? I would like to use this, but I do not have any flight activity arising soon. Thanks for the information. (If you like you can email me the link directly)
