100 thanksagain points for signing up through 12/31 http://thanksagain.com/partners/hilton-

This is from a blog which talked about using them to extend your miles:

Quote
To be more specific, you get 100 ThanksAgain points, which can be converted to a variety of frequent flier mile and/or hotel loyalty points programs. Here is the list along with conversion ratios. The neat feature is that you can convert as little as 10 points, meaning you can create “partner activity” on a variety of program and potentially keep your points from otherwise expiring.

Aeromexico Club Premier® x 0.5 pts
Alaska Mileage Plan™ x 0.5 pts
American AAdvantage®x 0.5 pts
Fiesta Rewards® x 1.0 pts
Frontier EarlyReturns® x 0.5 pts
Hilton HHonors® x 1.0 pts
JetBlue TrueBlue® x 0.5 pts
Southwest Rapid Rewards® x 0.5 pts
United MileagePlus® x 0.5 pts
In other words, your 100 ThanksAgain points can be converted to 5 Alaska Mileage Plan miles, 5 American AAdvantage miles, 10 Hilton points, 5 JetBlue points, 5 Southwest RR points, 5 United miles, and so on. Alternatively, you could save your points for later and as long as this feature remains (it might not), keep doling them out over time to keep your accounts active.

Forgot to report back here.
Yes it works! I can confirm I got 5 points into each of my AA, UA, B6 and WN accounts. Those are the ones I tried.
Officially this expired 12/31 but the link still works and says 100 so I wouldn't be surprised if it still works.

Nice! Best idea is probably to just sit on them until/if you need to restart the clock on one of the linked airlines, a few weeks before it would otherwise expire.

I should set a Google reminder for every January just in case.

I believe there's an app (possibly a website. Can't remember exactly) that keeps track of all your point programs and when they expire...

Thanks op!
I don't sin, I give myself opportunities to repent.
