2,000 Free Alitalia Miles With Account Signup
Now through March 30, 2013, Alitalia is offering customers who open up new Millemiglia frequent flyer accounts up to 6,000 bonus miles.
Here's how it works:
You get 2,000 miles off the bat just for signing up, which will be credited to your account in April. An additional 2,000 miles for taking a flight on Alitalia by April 30, and 2,000 more points for posting any mileage activity with the Millemiglia Program within 3 months of account opening.
You might not be planning on flying Alitalia by the end of April, but that other 2,000 points for partner activity should be within easy reach of a lot of folks since the terms just say: "Bonus valid for transactions with Alitalia and its Partners in the ambit of the MilleMiglia Program within three months of registration."
Alitalia is 1:1 a transfer partner of both American Express Membership Rewards and Starwood Preferred Guest, so if you have an account with either, you can transfer as little as 1,000 points (as little as 1 Starpoint for Starwood Platinums). That way, not only can you earn the additional bonus points, but you can also top up your account once they post and redeem for particular sweet spot awards in Alitalia's partner award chart
Some of those award sweet spots include needing just 80,000 miles to get from North America to Europe in business class, 90,000 miles and 95,000 miles to hit North and South Asia respectively in business class, 40,000 miles for roundtrip business class tickets within North America, and 75,000 miles for southern South America in business class, so if you think strategically, you should be able to get some good value out of any transferred points, and if you manage to score all 6,000 bonus miles, you've already got a head start on a potentially great redemption.

1. This promotion is only available to those customers who register with the MilleMiglia Program between March 8th and 30th 2013 through the special link appearing on this web page.
