| Earthlink and various airlines and points programs |
If you sign up with Earthlink, please say that Gary Steiger, Ross, California, pgary@earthlink.net, referred you. I get a free month's service at no cost to you. Please tell me that you have done this, so I can be sure to get credit for the referral. Thanks.
Be sure to read Note 4 below the table for discount information. Lesser miles offers usually get you those miles in fewer months. But watch out for an obligation to stay with the company for a period of time to avoid an early termination fee. If the offer says it is expired, call them anyway. If it is on line, it is probably still valid. Readers have had success getting offers after the on line description says they have expired. Earthlink sells Blackberry. Blackberry offers are in the Cell Phone and Wireless Plans - Domestic section of the Telephone Page of this web site. (I know, it does both.) On February 10, 2006, a reader wrote "...when I cancelled the Earthlink account that I had opened to get 10K miles today, they tried two further bonus offers to keep me around. First they offered 4000 miles, then 7000, to continue for six more months ... When the agent asked why I was cancelling, I told him I'd only signed up for the miles in the first place, and perhaps that keyed him to make those offers." And then on March 10, 2006, a reader wrote I read on your site that someone had gotten Earthlink to give them miles for retaining an existing account, so I decided to try it. I called them up and said I was planning to cancel my account and sign up for a new one to get the 10,000 Aadvantage miles. At first, they said they couldn't do much, but when I pointed out that I had been a customer since 1999, they offered me 3,000 miles. I said I'd go ahead and cancel it, so they gave me 6,000 miles if I agree to stay for 3 months, which I agreed to.

Note 1: Mileage-wise, this is a terrible offer. But I mention it anyway in case you need the points for something else. Note 3: EarthLink High Speed or Wireless service only. This offer translates to fewer miles than the airline offers, but it is the only way I know of to get Continental or Midwest Airlines miles from Earthlink. Amtrak points convert to the miles of those airlines 1:1 in 5,000 point chunks, with certain restrictions. See my writeup on Amtrak in the Points for Miles section of my Other Programs I Like page. Note 4: Earthlink offers large discounts, but maybe instead of miles:
Note 5: AirTran credits expire one year after their posting date as indicated in your online account rewards summary. So be sure you can earn enough credits within that time to earn a ticket and can spend them within that time before you accept AirTran offers.

Enroll as a No. 1 Club Gold member and earn No. 1 Points when you spend on NETVIGATOR Access Service. 12 No. 1 Points = 1 Asia Mile. Conversion must be in blocks of 3,600 No. 1 Points.
