Thanks OP. I love the WSJ, but it is pretty expensive. I've got a ton of Delta miles, so this was a no-brainer.

this is one of the best value for miles. i have been using it for years. Even at 3300 miles( which is what it was earlier) it was a great deal... This is phenomenal
Thank you OP! In addition to being a great value regardless of your mileage balance, this is a great way to utilize small balances and keep your account active.

log into your FF account through www.usairways.com and search for the magazine redemptions on their site map.The only thing possibly related I see on the Site Map is "Shopping Mall." Nothing about magazine redemptions.

isles,
it appears usairways may have taken this option away from what I can determine. However, and this is YMMV, you may be able to transfer USair miles to another program, like Delta's throught points.com and get the WSJ that way. Sorry about the mix-up on USAir, the other airlines appear to be current and valid.

Thanks OP. I don't fly enough with Delta to accumulate points for a ticket. This is almost like "found money" for me, given my five year old balance.
Nope. I did this a few weeks ago and wanted to use my stranded United miles. They sent me a mailing, 3300 points for the same offer. So I used some of my Continental miles since it was roughly half.
Ironically, I signed up for this earlier today... thanks for posting it!

I was looking at the economist too... but they took it away! I got a couple subs at different addresses i live at, do you know if i can combine subscrptions?
You get 100 miles per completed course. Takes under 5 minutes each and you can keep trying the answers until you get the correct one.

You definitely can combine and extend the sub. Just wait for the subs to start and both addresses, then give the magazine a call to transfer the sub to the one address you want it receive.

Just signed up for this. I have been paying for it for a while so this is a big relief. My question, are you able to renew with miles easily, or do you have to buy it again once it runs out? The confirmation page said 6-10 weeks to start receiving this. It's a long time to wait between subscription if you can't renew.
Thank you

Good deal - anyone know why all these airlines removed The Economist from these programs? Total bummer...

Think the Economist is intermittent... probably back someday. Got Barron's - thanks OP as reminded that my old sub just ran out.

Only thing about WSJ in my area is that they mail it. By the time I get my mail, it's near 2pm so obviously not worth it. What's weird is, Barrons is hand delivered early in the morning; same company different policy I guess. Wish there was an option for WSJ online only.
