Yesterday morning I wrote about Starwood’s new terms and conditions. Lots of cleanup, new sections and changes related to the introduction of SPG Pro, there were also some rather odd additions like an agreement that any Starwood member won’t challenge the chain’s trademarks and that gifting awards to others when you’re not staying won’t earn […]

United MileagePlus is running one of the most ridiculous promotions I've seen in a while. Through 11:59PM CT on December 31, 2014, United is publicly offering a 25% discount on the purchase of MileagePlus miles.

For example, in April I wrote about the sign-up bonus being offered by the Japan Airlines MasterCard, whereby they were offering a stuffed animal as a sign-up bonus... but only for the first 100 approved applicants!
In terms of equally amusing sign-up bonuses and promotions, ANA sent out an email to all Mileage Club members in the US today about their "Double Shopping Mile Campaign."
