Double Miles on Northwest Airlines for US and Canada based passengers

Northwest Airlines has matched a United Airlines offer that awards travelers with double the normal amount of miles accrued for flights and double the normal amount of miles that are counted toward achieving "Elite" status in Northwest's WorldPerks frequent flyer program.

"While our customers continue to book Northwest with confidence, it is critical that we fully compete for every customer on price, product, schedule and frequent flyer program offers," said Tim Griffin, executive vice president of marketing and distribution. "This offer allows members of our WorldPerks program to earn travel awards even faster, as well as enjoy the many benefits experienced by members who achieve 'Elite' status."

U.S. and Canada-based members of WorldPerks traveling on Northwest, Northwest Airlink or KLM-operated flights between today and October 9, 2005, will accrue double the amount of miles they normally would, as well as earn double the amount of miles counted toward reaching Elite status.
