a trio of fee-free Northwest Airlines cards

I used in my most recent AOR; may be useful for others as well.

Northwest WorldPerks Visa Signature Card by US Bank
- 15,000 WorldPerks miles after first purchase
- 2500 bonus miles when you add a joint cardholder
- $90 annual fee, waived the first year with this offer
- apply by March 2, 2007
- call 800 360 2900 x6487

Northwest WorldPerks Visa Platinum Card by US Bank
- 10,000 WorldPerks miles after first purchase
- 2500 bonus miles when you add a joint cardholder
- $55 annual fee, waived the first year with this offer
- apply by March 2, 2007
- call 800 360 2900 x6487

Northwest WorldPerks Visa Business Card by US Bank
- 15,000 WorldPerks miles after first purchase
- $75 annual fee, waived the first year with this offer
- apply by March 2, 2007
- call 800 796 4650 x1677


Notes - I applied for both the Signature and the Platinum on the same call, with the same CSR. I don't think these are targeted offers. There is no way I can see to apply online. Northwest codeshares with Alaska, Delta, Continental, among others, so you ought to be able to use your miles somehow.

any promo code?

CTURajan said: I got this offer in the mail as well and was considering it fo r the mielage as well. Something that you forgot to mention is that it gives the benefits of discounted mileage redemptions in US 48 & Canada.

For Signature, you get 2 mileage redemptions at 19k miles instead of the 25k usually required.
For Platinum, you get 1 mileage redemption at 19k miles.

That is 19K miles for a single flight on NWA for flights to US 48 and Canada.

I was sitting on 22K miles with NWA for over a year, trying to use miles for a flight (Toronto-Calgary) but couldnt find any mileage redemption sales and since I was residing in Canada, couldnt accrue any free miles quickly. Now I have US residency, the free miles are going to be great for my next trip to Alberta. The lower redemption rates, which I havent seen on NWA forever put this offer over the top IMHO.

I wasn't sure FWF wanted that level of redemption detail, but here are the corrected details in my offer:

Signature: 2 tickets at only 19,000 miles
Platinum: 2 tickets at only 21,000 miles
Business: 2 tickets at only 21,000 miles

Two questions. 1. Which credit agency did these cards each pull? and... 2. I am looking to get free tickets to Hawaii in November. Does it seem realisitic to apply for these three cards each and be able to get tix there for free? Any suggestions on the 2nd would be greatly appreciated!!

Maybe - it might still be early enough (but I wouldn't wait a lot longer). You can check award availability here: http://res.nwa.com/App/OffsiteSearch?pos=US&moreOptions=true&multiflight=false&searchType=roundtrip&searchMethod=awardTravelSearch&awardTravelSearch=true

Note that flights to Hawaii cost 35000 miles, so you need 2500 miles beyond the Visa Sig + joint cardholder + Business card for one ticket.

Thanks Xeon852. We are going from BDL to HNL from about 11/1/2007 to 11/16/2007. I just
signed up for WorldPerks and it says 70,000 miles each for the tickets. Does that sound right? I was thinking of applying on Monday after Discover reports to my credit a reduction of balance. Are you saying that it will be tough to get my rewards credited in time? I was thinking of doing all 3 cards by the way.

70,000 miles each means the 35,000 mile awards are sold out. You can try changing your dates around and seeing if you can dig some up, but HI award flights go quickly. As long as there are seats on the plane, you should be able to get a 70,000 mile award, but it isn't likely a good use of miles.

Bump for near expiry...I may call and apply for the biz card. I received the signature miles and still no platinum ones. With a CSR now trying to figure out why.
