No, but you should get miles or membership rewards points (depending on your Amex) for the purchase price.

That'd sure be a nice double dip, though, would't it??!

Click on each link and look at the Terms and Conditions.

Continental seems to have no limit. Perhaps there is a reason for this. (!) You may wish to search the CO board to learn about OnePass redemption difficulties before taking this "opportunity." It is a great way to "top off," however.

A little off topic but is there any info. in Inside Flyer that can't be found on FT. I mean if you take away the FF miles, is it worth buying a subscription anyways?

Very much so. I find that each issue has at least some content that I would have not known about otherwise. I especially like some of the editorial content. I know that many others that read both InsideFlyer and FlyerTalk have said the same thing.

For the record - we have never mentioned nor advertised any promotion with American Express MR. Nor would any one have found a link to such promotion. What was found is a test presentation for American Express to allow us a promotion. The test presentation has not even been viewed by American Express yet - so this may blow our chances for getting their approval for a promotion. The only way this would have been found was by taking the URL and adding on names of various programs. As for any breech of contract -anticipation of such means we'll probably have to revise the promo from 2,500 Membership Rewards points down to only five bonus Membership Rewards points. But we're sure you'll like the reading.

Please allow us a chance to try and create value for you all. Thanks.

Only three weeks left for the AA, CO, and UA deals. They're great for "topping off."

MileBuyer WELCOME TO FLYERTALK!

But forgive me if I can't help but feel suspicious of someone's FIRST EVER post on FlyerTalk when it is asking for names and addresses.

SPN Lifer, the insideflyer.com site shows the offer expiration dates for AA, UA and CO to be December 31. Do you have some information that supersedes this?

My source was the second thread on this post, followed up by actually clicking through the links. At the time, and up until very recently, the big circle at the top of the linked page said "3000 miles" without any "ends Dec. 31" suffix as appears now. The explicit text of the promotion also made clear the 31 March 2003 deadline.

I did not take a screen shot of the particular promotion I was interested in, but there are archival websites that periodically try to capture the entire internet, so perhaps there is something out there.

I subjectively and privately figure that if Randy had to withdraw the promotion early, for whatever valid reasons he might have, he should be entitled to do so, even if I am personally disappointed, in the absence of any legal "consideration" on my part to keep his offer open to the originally posted date. [I am not undertaking to provide legal advice!] Perhaps staffing was unavailable for an anticipated deluge of orders, as occured near 1 July 2002.

You snooze, you lose!

There may be a more benign explanation, that there were computer problems, and the link now resolves to an older version of the page, with no intention to cut us off.

That is my hope, but we'll have to await word from the one with authority to tell us.

Actually, my real interest is whether there will be any extension of any of these types of promotions.

vasantn

SPN Lifer, my interpretation was a lot more positive than yours; that is, I thought the promotions had now been extended to December 31, 2003.

Your response raised a doubt in my mind, and so I called the Inside Flyer customer service line. I'm happy to report that the promotions have indeed been extended through the remainder of this year .

Thank you, thank you, Randy!!!!

It is really nice to have that as a back up until 31 Dec 03 for topping off my family members' AA, CO, and UA accounts (up to 20K for UA, 35K for AA, and unlimited for CO), so I can save my Diners Club points for other carriers.

I guess it's true what they teach in the Navy, when I "assume," I make an ... of u & me. I'm glad to see, vasantn, that your inherent optimism (and trust in Randy) has been rewarded.

I've never claimed to be a computer expert.
