Double Miles for Delta Mileage Purchases (First-time Buyers Only)

Delta is offering double miles on mileage purchases now through Aug.30 for first-time buyers. For example if you buy 10,000 miles, now you'll get 20,000. That brings down the effective cost of purchasing miles from 3 cents apiece to 1.5 cents.

1.5 cents is still alot of money to pay for miles,but if you need to top off an account for an award it may well be worth while.

It would seem that people that have purchased miles in the past will be receiving a promo to buy miles again in the near future, as the offer says:

Already a Buy Miles customer? Then make sure that you have added an email address in your account profile so you don’t miss out on your upcoming exclusive promotion.

However if you balk at the charge, you probably won't have to pay.
“We’re trained to keep order on an airplane and defuse confrontation,” Mike Flores, president of US Airways’ A.F.A. chapter, said in an interview Thursday. “If it takes giving a free beverage to somebody to do that, so be it. I expect there will be flight attendants who just give everything away.

Wootoff Coming 8/31 Or 9/1

This just sent in:

Woot just emailed me a suspicious email. This usually means a wootoff. It'll be Thursday 8/31 or Friday 9/1 if history repeats itself
Good day, #####,
We heard you had some time to kill, so we thought, what the hell, might as well send you a Woot newsletter to read. So, you know, here it is. Take a look at what we're up to, see if anything interests you, whatever. Like, maybe you're into, like, we dunno, battery-powered lawnmowers or something. If not, that's cool, you know? No pressure, dude.
...
That's about all we can reveal to someone with your security clearance. Anyway, we've gotta go figure out how to clear some space in our warehouse, so we'll let you go.

Until next time, dance as if nobody's watching, love as if you've never been hurt, and buy our stuff as if your credit card has no limit.
Keep the faith -
Woot
