Southwest is offering a double credit promotion with some specific criteria:

Take advantage of our Double Credit Days promotion—one bonus Rapid Rewards credit on every flight you take on Southwest Airlines. That means you can earn two credits for every one-way flight (four credits when you travel roundtrip) from any city that Southwest serves. At that rate, you’ll earn a free flight* to any of more than 65 destinations after just four roundtrip flights!

Purchase a Business Select Fare with this promotion, and you’ll receive 2.25 credits for shorthaul flights and 3.0 credits for longhaul flights.

  • Register for this promotion between April 7 and May 26, 2010.
  • Book a flight for yourself between April 7 and May 26, 2010.
  • Complete your travel between April 7 and May 26, 2010.


Please note you have to register, book the flight, AND fly it within the specified time frame. Sign up now if you plan to fly Southwest. If you need to, take advantage of Southwest’s "no change fee" and re-book your flights to take advantage of the offer, if the fare hasn’t changed. It might be worth it even if the fare has changed a few dollars.


Another late reminder on a Starwood promotion which started earlier this year. 

Earn 2x, 3x or 4x the Starpoints on all your eligible stays.

Start out the year with rich rewards from SPG®, where the more nights you have in your stay, the more bonus Starpoints® you’ll earn. Receive double, triple or quadruple Starpoints for every night of each eligible stay — with no limits — between January 5 and April 15, 2010. For example, a three-night stay earns you triple Starpoints on each night.



Better late than never.
