Sorry if posted here before but I found the url on my WP Visa statement which arrrived today.
http://www.nwa.com/offers/fff2005/
Registration May 16th.
But qualification quite a bit tougher than previous years.
1) Requires TWO domestic (or 4 segments) or one International flight RT
2) New Visa card
3) New Worldclubs Annual membership

The rules this year are quite tricky.....
only 3 idines (but no minimum) this year...
plus a $25 min on ONE ITEM... so that means not buying $25 of books at bn.com through the mall anymore.
Sad.

Qualifying domestic flights include any two (2) paid roundtrip fares or four (4) paid one-way fares in North America, in which you earn WorldPerks miles and complete after registration and during the Promotional Period.

I can see a million questions arising from this one: 
Earn miles from other miscellaneous WorldPerks Mileage Partners.

If you do any travelling in the next ~4 months you should have no problems getting 10k into your account. In fact, for most of us it will happen whether you try or not!
Always fun to see the extent that some will go to get these miles (i.e. What is the least I can do to get this?).
This promotion has always been about promoting partner activity. I am not surprised to see an increased requirement for the qualifying flights, simply to encourage those that will not fly to qualify using the partner activities.
Have fun!

Assuming that you do 5 partner activities at $25 EACH and take 2 MRs at $100 each (though I doubt you'd be able to do it for those prices completely) than that's $325
325/10000 = .0325 or 3.25 cents a mile. A good MR could net you a better ratio...

My point is that for those who travel even less than once a month should have no problems with this promotion.

If you already have the 2 flights booked this is a really easy to do promo, and not soend hardly any money
