He would like to offer a mileage points bonus to everyone who closes a mortgage loan with him before July 1st, 2008 (purchase or refinance).

He wants you, the readers, to select your mileage preference- would you rather he offered 30,000 American Airlines AAdvantage Miles or 20,000 Starwood Starpoints? (Only one will be offered, not both)

Please email DansDeals@CharlesLight.com with your preference.

By the end of next week, the votes will be tallied and if there is enough interest in either one of these promotions, it will be offered exclusively to DansDeals readers.

Approved Funding Corp is a mortgage banker licensed in NY, NJ, FL, MD, CA, PA & CT.

Conforming loans, Jumbo loans, FHA loans and the new Jumbo Conforming loan limits are available as well as Hard Money Loans.

If you are in the market for a mortgage now, please call (516) 945-6292 or go to www.CharlesLight.com and fill out the contact form and someone will call you.

And remember; tell him that you heard about him from DansDeals!!

I haven’t reported on all the merger stuff for a while because honestly without the backing of the pilots I felt there was little chance of it happening.

Delta’s pilots are apparently now behind the deal, so it’s only a matter of time before the announcement is made.

What can we expect now?

Higher fares, less available mileage seats, closed hubs (Cincinnati and Memphis have little chance for survival), and more merger activity.

Worse yet, this will allow Continental, arguably the best domestic network carrier, to buy back their golden share from Northwest and pursue their own merger opportunities…

Related: Earn Double Elite Qualifying Miles On Delta.

Hilton Offer Linky

Airlines rarely ever like to part with elite qualifying miles. Delta is giving them out like candy.

The “Big 6″ network carriers are sustained by their elite customers. These customers typically are willing to pay a significant premium to fly on their preferred carrier and have extreme brand loyalty. In return the airlines pamper them with goodies such as upgrades, tons of bonus miles when flying, enhanced mileage availability, premium seat availability, reduced fees, extra luggage allowances, priority customer service/security screening/boarding, etc, etc.

There has been no program devalued as quickly of late as Delta’s Skymiles. They have by far the worst mileage seat availability. They are the only network carrier that got rid of “last-seat” availability for “rule-buster” mileage tickets. They have added tons of new fees that have angered their elite travelers.

It won’t help matters that they are in the process of closing down quite a few of their airport lounges that premium customers demand. They are also closing down all of their BusinessElite lounges.

They are bleeding elite customers and can’t seem to find a carrier willing to merge with them.

In response they have unleashed unprecedented promos for elite miles in an effort to try and regrow a loyal customer base. It is a path fraught with peril. If current elite customers are angered by all of the new “elite-light” customers they may bolt to other carriers.

At any rate, whether you are gunning for bottom or top tier, with promotions such as double elite miles there’s never been a easier way to earn elite status than now. One RT flight from Atlanta to Tel Aviv is all it would take become elite until 02/10. Delta elite status is honored across the board on all SkyTeam alliance carriers, such as Air France, Continental, KLM, and Northwest. It will even exempt you (and possibly your companions) from new restrictive checked luggage rules on all of those carriers. (More on that in a future post) With elite-status matching you can even get other carriers with a better elite product to match your Delta status to their own equivalent status!

“How do you become a millionaire? Begin as a billionaire, then go into the airline business.”
-Richard Branson (You can find many variations of this truism online)

Skybus ceased operations on Saturday, finishing an unglorious week for aviation in which an unprecedented 3 US airlines with published schedules went out of business.

With fares like this, it’s easy to see how they burned through $160 million in startup funding in under a year of flying:

I was quite proud of myself when I nailed 7 RT tickets at that price for my pittsburgh cousins. (C’mon you would also drive a couple hours to save that kind of money!) Unfortunately it doesn’t help much when they close down less than 2 weeks before the flight…At least it was bought on a Starwood AMEX, looks like it’s time for a chargeback! (Little consolation at that price…)

Free advice to new airline startups:

1. Don’t name your airline after something with as negative a connotation as “bus.” The last thing air travelers want to fly on is something related to Greyhound; Stay classy. (What’s next SkySubway?)

2. Don’t form your business plan based on $40 oil, because those days aren’t coming back anytime in the near-future.

Coming soon: $100+ oil means bad times for US aviation, but especially for LCC’s (low-cost carriers) -so who’s next to go bust?

ATA (not to be confused with Airtran Airways) ceased operations today without any prior warning.

It’s a good reminder for reason #1,203,304 as to why you should never use a debit card over a credit card which offers true chargeback protection.

The shutdown is yet another blow for Hawaii travelers as ATA was the only LCC that provided service to Hawaii, and fares are now all but guaranteed to head north…
