Frequent Flyer Program News June 2005

More Dealer Miles in Texas, Oklahoma. Thirty-five Toyota dealers in Texas and Oklahoma now reward service customers with frequent flyer miles. At participating dealerships, customers can earn miles in their choice of programs (Alaska Airlines, American Airlines, America West Airlines, Continental Airlines, Delta Air Lines, Hawaiian Airlines, Northwest Airlines, United Airlines and US Airways) when having their cars serviced and, in some cases, for vehicle purchases. In all, the DealerMiles program is available at approximately 400 auto dealerships throughout the country. Check the DealerMiles Web site at http://dealermiles.com/ for participating dealers.

In effect, the so-called “Any Hotel, Anywhere” cards expand the program’s award network to include 500,000 hotels, a quantum leap beyond the InterCon portfolio of 3,500 properties. Since there are no blackout dates limiting stays paid for with the card, the awards are also less restrictive.
