<font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">That's pretty low to offer it until the end of the year and then take it back. I'm not gonna renew this year.</font>
Perhaps the offer was a victim of its own popularity, and InsideFlyer got "cut off" by the airlines?

I also was disappointed by the withdrawal of the offer with no prior notice.

I had renewed a few subscriptions to bring my seldom-used AA acount over 25K, but was planning to top off several relatives' CO accounts to useful amounts at the end of the year.

Oh well, that's life. You snooze, you lose. Don't count your chickens. Subject to change without notice. Pick your
favorite from the Hoary platitudes thread

InsideFlyer can't sell what it doesn't have.

Perhaps the new year will bring some new offers?

Apparently no 2004 changes to UA miles earned...still 1,500/package

Will wait to renew or resubscribe when the bonus goes back to 3,000.

You can get just the magazine, no guidebook or points, for $45.

I don't really value the guidebook, so the decision at the margin on my renewal is, $15 for the points?

To throw a monkey wrench into the mix, an internet-only subscription is $12....

Oh, and my subscription is up this month! So I must decide.

FWIW, while I think I know most of the information in the magazine, there are always some new tidbits... bonuses I hadn't been aware of... insights into programs I'm less familiar with... and I enjoy and look forward to the magazine each month. So I definitely want to keep it.

Just which offer?

I like the magazine, good information and some timely information, but is usually a month late coming to Canada (Jan issue arrives in Feb.) Have yet to receive the Guidebook and I am nearly done my tw year subscription

Resurgence of interest

There seems to be resurgence of interest in this topic.

Is this only valid for new subscriptions or also for extending existing subscriptions that are about to expire?

Re: the two separate AAdvantage offers.

Just a bit of clarification. We are currently offering two separate offers with AA, one for 1,500 miles and one for 2,000 miles. The 1,500-mile offer is open to anyone, while the 2,000-mile offer is only available to AAdvantage elite members.

Hope this helps.

It still is cheaper to buy the miles from Points.Com (via the AA.COM site) for only 2.8 cents a mile. The 2000 miles for $60 works out to 3 cents a mile.
