They’ve doled out miles for everything from tulips to vacation cruises, and now the nation’s No. 3 carrier, Delta Air Lines, is poised to hand out miles for AT&T local and long distance customers. New and current AT&T customers can now earn five frequent flyer miles for every dollar they spend on certain AT&T services. New AT&T customers can also get up to 5,000 SkyMiles as a bonus for signing up and staying with the nation’s largest telephone service provider for roughly six months. (An initial 1,000 to sign up and then 1,000 each month thereafter.) Translation: No spinning. You’ve got to stay to play with this deal.

To enroll in the SkyMiles/AT&T program, SkyMiles members can call 888-FLY ATT 1 (888-359-2881). Or to become a SkyMiles member, call 800-221-1212. For additional information, log onto the Web at: http://www.delta.com/skymiles.
