Heh. Just not worth it after all the hotel miles I pumped in.

Maybe I need to start taking some long weekend trips to Europe just because I can.

Not bad for a topoff though if you're close to an award.

1.478125 was too exact for you, eh?

If credit card companies could charge me $1,478.125, I would have been more exact :P

Nope. Haven't been any preferred bonuses on purchased miles in some time - and if I recall, the preferred bump was only applied to the recipient if the sender was preferred in a gift/share transaction. Not on buy-for-yourself miles.

Once my transfers have moved through the system, I'll be doing that to get an award trip to Asia in C. Wish I had gotten more of the transferable hotel points, though. Oh, well.

1.478cpm for 100K miles has been the best (and fairly consistent) price of any promo for buy miles since the flat rate was raised from 2.5 to 2.75 cpm in either Nov/Dec 2009 or Jan/Feb 2010. And in this case it's back to the unrestricted qualifications - no US card or status required, no graduated bonus based on amount purchased, etc.

It's only 2011 so far where they've been screwing with the terms but this promo is back to the way they used to be.

50k Max per member. Does my dog actually have to fly for me to use his miles?
