    Update: Oops, meant to type in 2011 in the title. Can anyone help edit the title to minimize confusion? Thanks.

    From their Twitter Feed...

    Get ready to join the big leagues. Dividend Miles Grand Slam is back and bigger than ever! Stay tuned…

    Knights Inn Cleveland, here I come ;) (Inside joke for last year's participants)

    I really hope they allow it still this month. I will be on seven different *A carriers during the next month, and a few different hotels etc. I hope they allow the registration to work on pre-existing reservations. I hope they add the rest of *A rather than only SQ as it was last year.

    I would think after all the CXing that was done last year of goods no longer needed and corkscrews etc instead of purchasing the wine itself that it will be alot more expensive this year than last, in getting credit from some of USs partners.

    But as they say "Let the Games Begin" :D

    As a US newbie, should I sign up for an account now, or wait until GS starts?

    I just got the following invitation from e-Rewards and US. Should I sign up now or wait? Or rather, should I sign up now and wait until September to complete my first survey? See the special clause in bold:

    Hey SCFlier,
    I'd go ahead and sign up. From my experience, the 500 mile bonus doesn't trigger automatically. Instead, you should see it as an option in the "rewards" section of your e-rewards account as a "Free" reward under US Airways. You can wait to redeem until the activity period starts.

    Andyandy

    P.S.: Remember to sign up for a US Airways E-miles.com account if you haven't done so already. It should be pretty easy to get up to 500 miles in time for the GS.

    I'd really like to see a bar graph of their montly 2010 occupancy rate just to see the spike.

    Sigh. I took my Grand Slam Biscoff to the bank as a Christmas gift to the tellers who I regularly "minted". I may do it again this year for old times sake.

    Don't jump into anything. There's enough of us on here that will overanalyze all the possibilities that you should be able to figure out the best ways to get hits pretty quickly. Just follow along with the thread once the details are released.

    Overanalysis is :oops:indeed our specialty! That said, with all the options that US will offer for getting points it will not be difficult to decide how to concentrate your efforts. Many of them are essentially costless, or minimal cost, and those you can just do. the problem and need for analysis every year comes down to the last few points, the ones that will cost you money and/or inconvenience. Paying close attention will make it fun and relatively easy, assuming you're as obsessive/compulsive as the rest of us are.:cool:
