I looked back on NWA.COM & found I was credited for 10,000 FFF miles in 3/01, 7/02 & 8/03. It's been a simple promo, requiring a "qualifying" activity, such as an NWA paid flight and ?5 partner credits, such as 5 IDines. You get your 10M as soon as you've met the requirements, rather than waiting till the promo ends.

Beats me. The only thing the SPG offer says is that this offer cannot be combined with any other WP promo offers. But when both running at the same time, I'm not sure how WP would sort it out.

I did a search to find the extensive thread on this subject last year ("fly free faster 3"), but it seems to have evaporated in the Flyer Talk transition. Perhaps an administrator can bring it back?
The old rules are still somewhere on nwa.com, I think, but without that Flyer Talk thread, I don't have time to look it up.

I actually think that it just had to be a flight that earned NW miles.

Why should they? CO gets the booking but you want freebies from NWA?

When I said "ticketed on NW," I was only responding to the CO codeshare operated by NW -- not all NW flights.
But not having tried that, I'd have to look at the rules.
I imagine someone around here has a copy of last year's Terms and Conditions.

Easy 10,000!
Should be able to do this without even trying! 
Got to remember to register though, I didn't last year and only had two-three weeks to get the credits.
Cheers!
edited to add that gift certificates purchases do not count!

More not-so-fine print. One item purchased via WP Mall e-tailers now instead of an order totaling over $25! Grr.
