Just got my Priority Club quarterly paper statement in the mail and there’s a free and easy way to get 1,500 points. As always, chock full of information and will be my literature during a nice bath, haha! You all better admit it now- you love sitting in your bath tub with that stolen Lufthansa rubber ducky and salivating over your paper statement and bonus offers! Imagining you’re in a jacuzzi at an exclusive airport lounge or hotel. I know, I do! Well, no rubber ducky from Lufthansa for me until after this summer. Ha ha!
Anyway, you can get 1,500 bonus points for switching to e-statements at priorityclub.com/email.

Here’s how it works. You receive 500 bonus points for switching (must switch by June 30, 2009). You then receive an additional 1,000 points if you remain opted-in for e-statements through at least September 30, 2009.

After you confirm the posting of points, you can always switch back to the paper statement method of delivery if you prefer statements in the mail.

I just found out that Priority Club has partnered up with e-Rewards and you can now redeem your e-Rewards dollars for Priority Club points. Here are the the redemption opportunities:

$30 level- 1,000 Priority Club points added to your account

$60 level- 2,200 Priority Club points added to your account

$100 level- 4,000 Priority Club points added to your account

In my opinion, the Hilton HHonors redemption option is a much better deal. For $100 e-Rewards, I get received 7,000 Hilton HHonors points. Much better deal!

For those who are wondering, e-Rewards dollars are not purchased. You answer surveys (which are free) and upon completion you earn e-Rewards $. Some surveys pay as high as $100 and some as low as $0.50.

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.

Just a few hours ago, I completed my voting in the Freddie Awards. I have to say, it was a little different this year.

US still got the all the highest marks for all the airline related categories, but I voted differently when it came to the hotels.
Each year I would recognize Marriott with all my votes, but I found 2008 to be poor for Marriott. I’ve had some upsetting stays, dismal customer service and ridiculous reductions in the Marriott Rewards program. I’m also upset with the progress of new properties I was really looking forward to staying at.

This year, I’ve found more value with the Hilton HHonors program, and more than anything else, I’ve found Priority Club very rewarding with their stackable bonus promotions and excellent credit card. In the last 6 months I’ve earned more than 80,000 Priority Club points without spending a single penny for hotel rooms. I will say it again, the Priority Club Visa card is amazing and has a very low annual fee ($25). And while Priority Club outsources all of their customer service (even for the Platinum line), I still find the agents genuinely helpful and friendly.

One other neat thing. Go on USAirways.com and on the top left of the page use their Google based search engine and search for the keyword “freddie”. You’ll find an old page which strangely enough still bears the America West logo. Interesting read.

Don’t forget to vote in the Freddie Awards. Voting closes February 28, 2009.
