I'm #5 (Mike Hoeffner). I'm pretty new to FlyerTalk and I really only follow and post to the Continental and Mileage Run boards.

Hi! I'm lucky winner #4 on the list. Although I generally don't post to the board, I do enjoy reading and learning from some of the very knowledgable and seasoned travelers on FlyerTalk.

Thanks Randy and United!!! This clinches Hawaii (non-saver fares) for my honey and me. Woohoooo!!!! :-)

BTW - I'm the guy who NEVER WINS ANYTHING, so it's a nice surprise. (I did win an audit from the IRS last year, but that doesn't count.)

We'll make a mor eformal announcement now that United has contacted the winners. Here's the winning names from the drawing. You're all right - what wonderful odds. If you all behave I might be able to keep asking favors of the programs to offer up some prizes. To date we've given away more than a quarter million miles to FlyerTalk Live! chats. Here's the most recent winners:

1. John L. Giasi
2. William J Beck
3. Lynn Perkins
4. Steve Ralis
5. Mike Hoeffner

Sorry, strange as it may seem - I actually don't recognize anyone's real name. Could you all help me and others out with their real frequent flyer/FlyerTalk name?

JimBob .. congrats .. make your first on line booking and get what - 3000 points is it now? And pick a dirt cheap $59 flight that gives you a 500 mile minimum or so miles each way and you are basically there. Go to Mileage Addicts site and sign up for Silver Wings Survey or some such thing for 1000 or whatever points and bingo, a free flight to Alaska or wherever!


The current online bonus is...
1,000 for the purchase and flying of a roundtrip.
1,000 for a first time purchase

Both offers valid only for tickets sold in the United States.

1. Download the dash shopping bar = 500 free miles

2. Go to on-call vactions and sign up for their email = 250 free miles

3. Sign up for Diners = get 12,000 miles

4. Sign up for MCI = 5,000 miles

Total = 20,000 + 500 + 250 + 12,000 + 5,000 = 37,750 miles

You will be swimming in miles

cheers Peter
