any other easy hits?
I only have one hotel program with 60 points. Spent some time figuring out how many hits I can get with paying next to nothing and not buying things I wouldn't for the Grand Slam....so here is a list of what I have in mind:
Credit card usage (will be receiving CC next week) Dividend shopping mall Skymall download toolbar share miles ($10) buy miles ( i do plan to buy 80 to 100k with the bonus miles) Dividend dining (will have extra 1000 miles as I just joined today, waiting to dine after September 15, 2011) Biscoff Office max Emile Ereward Magazines ( would order anyways) Supershuttle ( need it for my trip in december so If I pay now, hope i can get hit, if not, oh well) Thanks again (GC for pizza joint i frequently visit) Need two more for total of 16 hits...any suggestions...thought of U.S.A today for $20 and perhaps a cheap hotel stay for weekend trip doubt I will be able to get 20 hits unless i am going to buy things I really don't need |
Check on the USA Today. I thought that would cost more since US said certain partners couldn't be cancelled until 6 months after GS. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong.

Would moderators mind merging this thread into another -- FAQ thread, perhaps -- as you see fit? Thanks.

So USA today is a minimum $120 hit. Subscribe with caution or desire to read. Do not subscribe just for a hit. |
Thanks for the info. I don't plan to pay $120 for one hit.

I just realized choice privileges may not work as it will be considered as hotel transfer hit. Try Virgin america using top guest instead.
Another option is sign up for frontier early return which is giving 1000 sign up bonus and sign up for emiles with frontier to get another 500. Frontier needs min 1001 miles to transfer. |
I already have emiles and I was thinking of using it to redeem for U.S. Dividend for one hit. Can i also do one for Frontier and count it as another hit?
Went to frontier..doesn't say anything about 1000 bonus miles. is there a link for this. Googled frontier bonus and it is only 500 miles , 1000 bonus miles expired end of August. However, I didn't know so i was given the 1000 miles bonus. |

One of the promos for Amex's "Link it, like it, love it" program on facebook is $10 off a $30 or more purchase from 1-800-flowers. I plan to use that to get a hit.

Thanks all. I will definitely do the swap with points.com.
