A few months back we wrote about the change in phone partners with the Northwest WorldPerks program, which is moving from Sprint to MCI. Sprint is not hanging up on their customers that easy and continues to entice members to stay and earn bonus miles into March 2003 by allowing them to earn bonus miles for local toll calls. If you live in an area where local toll calls are an important part of your local phone service and you are not earning miles, give Sprint a call at (877) 850-6823. This offer to earn additional miles is only for current active members and does not include any sign-up bonus.

As we have mentioned before, we would advise continuing with Sprint rather than converting to MCI since elite members earn seven miles per dollar spent with sprint and only five miles per dollar spent with MCI. I think you’d all agree that a 40 percent bonus is worth staying around for.
