Is this the most clever or stupidest marketing plan ever?

And so they are!

I think it's a really interesting promo...

you can at least get a couple magazines for the 8000 miles.  I did it and it literally took 1 minute

They say that the miles will be deposited within 10 days.  They have a bunch of mags available for 1-2k miles.  You should be able to get 4-6 subscriptions.  Sports illustrated, espn, gq... most of the top magazines are there.

2500 using their CC or 10,000 using a different CC for a OW.

I heard of one of the hamburger chains that did a similar campaign awhile back.  I wonder how successful it turned out to be.

Whoever owns this company is a nerd for making such a promo!
And also they seem to have blackout dates all year round, so you have miles but probably will never be able to redeem it...
If u work for a living, why kill urself working?

Dates might be blocked, but the free magazines aren't.

I'd probably just forget and they'd expire.
