Here are the offers I know about. Please let me know of any others you find.

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.

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.

Of course, after 3 months, I may go for the 10,000 miles, anyway

Caution: On August 13, 2008, a reader told me that an Earthlink rep told him that all miles deals have been cancelled. But the ones below were still online on September 25 2008. Be sure to make a copy of each page of the offer that interests you, along with the URLs of those pages.

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:

• On May 16, 2006, a reader wrote:

  Buyers need to be very careful with the Earthlink miles offers. For my home address, I priced identical service (6Mbps DSL) with and without the 10K Delta miles, and got these offers:

  Without miles:
  First 3 mos 19.95
  Thereafter 39.95/mo

  With 10K Delta miles:
  First 3 mos. 19.95
  Thereafter 54.95/mo

  Since there’s a 1-year commitment with early out fee of $149.95, those 10,000 miles cost an extra $135 (9 mos x $15) at minimum – more, if you keep the service past the first year.

• In February, 2004,I received a snail mail offer from Earthlink for dial-up service for $10.97 per month for the first six months. The difference what you would pay on a mileage deal (see Note 2) and this price, times 6, is the cost of the miles you would get. For 10,000 miles and $21.95 a month, for example, this works out to a cheap 0.6588 cents a mile. Call (866) 240-3892, and mention code 1018753.
• On December 18, 2003, a reader wrote that he got "an Earthlink Experience account 10 hrs/month & $1/hr afterwards for $9.95/month (a backup to my Cable Modem), but still gets 10,000 NW miles. The rep said that I could get 10,000 NW miles for any Earthlink account. So you might be able to get miles for a $5.95 e-mail only account."
• Another reader wrote on February 23, 2004, that he was able to obtain Earthlink cable service for only $21.95 a month, with a 6 month commitment, plus the 10,000 Delta Airlines miles mentioned above. He called the number for that offer.
• Still another reader wrote on January 04, 2005, "I received both the 10,000 Delta Miles and the $19.95 for the first three months offer on cable internet with Earthlink. Signed up on 01/04/05."
• AARP members can receive a $2 per month discount on dialup accounts. The offer code is 12790, but you probably won't need it. A $25 Visa Gift Card is offered for other types of service. Not sure if you have to forgo the miles or points to obtain this discount. Ask. I got my miles first, then switched to the discount rate. An AARP brochure I received in May, 2006, says that members can get this discount plus the first 6 months for $9.95/month. It says to call (888)829-8413 and refer to offer code 1023320. Paying $21.95/month to get the standard 10,000 miles and then telling them that you are an AARP member after the miles post in 6 months will cost you $72, or 0.72 cent per mile. I would take the miles.
• AAA members who are new dial-up EarthLink customers can have their first 60 days of service for free, a $2 per month discount, and the activation fee waived. Call (888) 829-8412 and mention code 12528. Current EarthLink dial-up customers can also save $2 on monthly service. The California State Automobile magazine says for current Earthlink subscribers to get the discount, they should visit support.earthlink.net/email and submit their name, earthlink email address, and AAA Membership number and mention promo code 05024. If that doesn't work, try calling customer service with the same information. Not sure if you have to forgo the miles or points to receive this discount. Ask. Maybe after your miles post, you can switch to this program.

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.

AARP members are offered a 10% discount on AOL service. You should be able to first accept another up front bonus offer, then switch to the 10% discount.

NetworkSolutions offers up to 15,000 miles when you buy a Do-It-For-Me Web Site.

Prices seem expensive to me. Also, you may want to consider this discussion on FlyerTalk before doing business with this company.
