Mistake Fares to Europe

February 15, 2011 - Rick

I have received several emails about Delta having fares to Europe under $200 from many cities to many European cities.

Instead of going into all the details, here is what I can tell you. Go to the Flyertalk Mileage Run forum and read, read, read. Link

If you are a Newbie or Old Timer, now is a good time to put your Big Boy Pants on and play this game by the rules of the Old Timers. DO NOT CALL the AIRLINE.

No matter how important you think you are, or how bad you want to take advantage of these deals, if you can’t figure them out with the info provided online in the FT threads, you should not be participating in these deals. There will be others. If you call the airline they will pull these deals and people will miss out. This is the chance for everyone to LET THIS PLAY OUT on its own. DO NOT CALL the AIRLINE!!

you're secrets safe with me.

I dont get why youre so secretive if it appears that multiple amex csrs confirmed that two years is the amount of time to be considered a new applicant?

So if that is the case does it make sense to close your account right after you earn the bonus to start the 2 year cycle? otherwise if you wait for your first anniversary then it is 3 years from your original apply date per card.

I thought you had applied and received multiple SPG cards with bonuses in the past, or does this apply to MR cards only?

>Does this need to be blabbed all over FT, Fatwallet, etc? No, it does not. This is the type of info you give to your friends in confidence and ask them to share only with their friends in confidence.

But posted on a blog? Yes.

GI (stands for Got It!). This is great info, thanks! Would you blog about the new Barclays USAir 35k deal? Had it some years ago but holding off after reading the FT thread…Barclays is a different animal!

Bone: I got my multiple SPG cards as a one time exception during the 30K Sign up bonus offer. Your comment does make sense on closing earlier than the year mark.

I think you and Matt are absolutely right. I received an offer in the mail that's too good to pass up – 100MR with 10k spend by 5/15. I applied, was approved, then realized I had the card a few years ago. Sure enough, 26 mos ago I cancelled it. My husband has the card now but will cancel it as soon as my card arrives. He took advantage of a certain $200 benefit in late 2010 and again in January so he's in a good place to move on.

Thanks for the info Rick. I think it would be best if you could delete this post after today, so that regular readers of your blog get it but it doesnt get indexed by google.

FWIW, I just got an email from Delta saying that their miles will no longer expire. Anyone think this could be matched by the others?

Ingy right on.

You are the first website I go to every morning.
Appreciate all the info.. I will keep it to myself

Miles rookie here, trying to figure this all out. Love your blog and have learned lots. Thanks!

I applied for the Gold Amex with the 50K bonus a few months ago. I also got the Delta Amex a few months before that for the 45 K bonus. Ihave already received both bonuses. Do you think I'd be eligible to get the Plat Amex 50K bonus also, or does Amex limit the bonuses you can get in a certain timeframe? TIA.

Hey Rick, my friend just forwarded me an email from Delta that says that they will no longer allow miles to expire and that all miles earned from now will stay forever. Do you have any more word on this?

I agree with you that this should not be posted everywhere. I guess you have a lot more confidence in your readers than I do. A couple of your faithful readers are the biggest blabber months I know of. Good luck!
