Back in late February, I mentioned that RewardTV offers free AA, Delta and Northwest miles during certain “Shopping Sprees”. On March 4, 2009, I was able to make it in front of my computer at the specified time and I “bought” the 1,000 miles using my RewardTV points. It takes up to 8 weeks (though sometimes no more than 4) to get the reward in the mail and I just received my reward today!

You basically get a paper certificate with a personal code which you input on http://www.depositAAmiles.com. The neat thing is you have over 6 months to request the miles so if you don’t do a lot of activity, you can wait it out and claim the miles right before the certificate expires to further extend your mileage expiration date! Although certificate rules require you to be the one who claim the miles, you can deposit them for anyone since the certificate doesn’t specify a name, email, account # or any personal information. An educated guess- I believe the same is true with the Delta and Northwest mileage certificates. Here are some pictures of the certificate’s front and back side. (Notice the RewardTV sticker proving that you can get free miles from RewardTV)

The mileage offers on RewardTV are by far the best free prizes. Since all the other shopping sprees offer $5 or $10 gift cards to great stores nonetheless, 1,000 miles at either American Airlines, Delta or Northwest is a much better choice!

Thanks RewardTV. Keep ‘em coming! I promise to announce all RewardTV shoping sprees that give away miles on this blog, so stay tuned. Would be nice if they also did hotel points.

Here’s a free and easy way to get 500 free Delta SkyMiles. Answer a personality quiz. Many people are reporting that when they enter their SkyMiles # they get a message saying, “We are sorry, the SkyMiles # you entered is not eligible for this offer“. Some people on FlyerTalk however are saying to not give up and keep coming back and eventually the system will accept your frequent flyer number and you will get a chance to participate and get your share of 500 free miles.

You can try any of these two URLs to access the home page of the personality quiz; try http://www.delta.com/marketing/personality/ or http://personality.delta.com. Good luck!

Very easy and free 100 miles with Delta, Northwest, Lufthansa and 16 other companies after filling out a simple form. More details available at Mobile Miles.

One thing regarding the phone number you enter. DO NOT enter your own or change the ‘+372′ prefix for Estonia! Just add 7 more random digits and hit submit. You will then get a confirmation page.

You can try doing it again and again for all the programs that you earn miles/points with; however be sure to enter a different phone number every time. You can also use a different email every time, should you choose to do so, but it is not necessary.

Right now, the best offer for earning miles on a car rental is Delta’s offer for partner Avis where you can earn up to 5,000 miles per rental. Here are the full details can be found here: http://www.avis.com/car-rental/html/partner/dl/deltaoffer2009.html

Basically, you get 2,500 Delta SkyMiles for 3 day rentals, 5,000 miles for 4 days or more.

Here’s the good:

• No flight required, so you can fly in on any airline you want.
• Bonus miles are valid on any car class you rent
• 2,500/5,000 miles is in addition to base miles you earn (base miles for Delta SkyMiles program are 50 miles per day or 500 miles on 5+ rental days.)
• Expires on December 31, 2009 (Rental must begin on/before this date, so it is a long lasting promotion unlike many other car related ones)

Here’s the bad:

• Miles only earned at airport locations (not promotion related, but a typical Avis rule; however you can rent at airport and return at non-airport location and still earn miles)
• only US/Canada rentals qualify for this promotion
• Must use the AWD discount provided by Delta on the promotion page (link again here: http://www.avis.com/car-rental/html/partner/dl/deltaoffer2009.html)
