I found this great site Rocketmiles.com that offers actual airline miles when booking hotels. And they offer good promos too (explained below)
I just booked what Dan calls a "mileage run". I booked a $79 hotel and will be receiving 11,000 Southwest (or any other airline of my choice) miles + 3% since I used my Chase Signature Card.
Heres the breakdown.
3,000 Miles = Booking the hotel
5,000 Miles = Rocketmiles just ran a 15 minute 5,000 mile bonus promotion (dead)
3,000 Miles = New customer bonus (Limited Offer)
Unfortunately, I had no one to refer me. I could have racked up another 1,000
Apparently they run promos such as these all the time. I just spoke with a representative who claims that there is another promo in the works that should be launching early next week. If you play your cards right you can end up boosting miles by quite a bit.
I cannot post a referral link (as per forum rules) to sign up and get 1,000 bonus miles. If you want one, PM me.
