This topic has been discussed before but I don't recall any exceptions. Have I got this right and does anyone anticipate better promos?
The "1st promo registered gets credit for activity" rule didn't appear to apply to Miles-A-Rama last year. I'm sure someone more savvy, can say for sure re: Zilla & other promos req. registration.
Last year, daughter received miles for Miles-A-Rama and 2003 Winter Bonus Miles promo for the same MEM-HKG flight. Trip netted 41,547 miles (reg miles, 50% class bonus, Rama, Winter bonus, intnl E tkt ...too bad she wasn't elite until After the trip)

No iDines?
Wonder why no iDine credits for this program. I was all ready to head out to the iDine restauants after the end of the 10K program.

As happened for the last 3 years as far as I know.

Clearly, the difference between Zilla and Rama, besides the creative names, is the omission of ESC check-in. I guess they must be happy with the number of people who are smart and savvy enough to use those kiosk these days.

I think the ESC machines points have been removed since at most airports now you truly do not have a choice in using them. Even to check luggage at the FC line you must use the Machine and then the agent will tag your bag. This year it would give almost every flyer some points for checking in at the airport. The points are designed to move you away from staff interaction.

Starwood
Question about Starwood Preferred Guest points and MileZilla-
When staying at Starwood's, the points (3 points/dollar) go into my SPG account, which is then dumped into my NW account.
From the Terms & Conditions, it seems as if this will not count for the milezilla promotion.
Am I misunderstanding this?

Points per leg, full one way or full round trip?
I am holding a "K" class domestic ticket with one flight change (different flight number each time) each way in September.
As listed in promotion table, I am supposed to earn 25 points. These are 25 points for each leg, each full one way or full round trip? Can anyone clarify?
Thanks

The rules say:
Fly roundtrip on a fare booked in the following classes:
V/L/T/K connect flights: 25
V/L/T/K non-stop or direct flights: 15
Since you're on connecting flights, it would be 25 total for your entire roundtrip.
