Mileage and Point Reward Status (May 2011)

I have been working on compiling a list to track where we are among all of our miles and point reward programs. I started this process at the end of January 2011, and will attempt to update the chart once each month as well as a small recap of any changes.

Since January, we have amassed quite a bit of points and miles, and I contribute the big part of that to this blog as it has kept me accountable to finding the latest offers and promotions.

The following is a brief summary of the things we have done since January to build up our accounts.

Delta SkyMiles– added 1,500 miles between the Fedex promotion and other incentives

United Mileage Plus- both my wife and I opened Netflix accounts, earning 8,016 miles between the bonus and spend on our United credit cards

Continental OnePass- no change; other than possible credit card bonuses, Continental really has not handed out any free miles unless you are already a card holder.

US Airways Dividend Miles– opened an account for my wife; Dining promotions; Customer appreciation promotion; and toolbar use added 5,760 miles

American Airlines AAdvantage– opened accounts for all four of us to take advantage of promotions; only 600 miles in accounts and still waiting for receipt of other promotions

Hilton HHonors– added 12,800 points between their Facebook botched program, dining rewards, and the “Goodwill Hold Time” promotion

Priority Club Rewards- earned 138,300 points for the Crack the Case promotion

Note, we also have reward accounts with AirTran, Southwest, Choice Hotels, and Wyndham Rewards, but since we do not really use them, there is no point in including them in this list. I debated about including Southwest Airlines, since we do have some of the old credits from the previous Rapid Rewards program; however, after looking at what we would need to earn in the new point system to receive an award before they expire (old points still appear to expire), makes it unlikely that we will ever get anything out of the system.
