Directv Signup Bonus | PointsCentric

Via Free Frequent Flyer Miles, you can now get two free weekend nights at any Hilton family hotel for signing up for DirecTV. This is similar to the offers I’ve posted about in the past for 25,000 to 30,000 miles for signing up for DirecTV which can be viewed here and here.

You do need to signup for a two year contract and with rates starting at $19.99/month it could make sense if you are looking for a new TV service. If I was interested in signing up, I most likely would take the 2 Free Weekend Hilton Nights over the miles since I would maximize those nights at high end hotels that go for $500+ a night. Since these certificates do expire in a year, if your travel patterns over the next year doesn’t include any high-end Hilton hotel stays, then maybe the miles is the better choice. As always, evaluate your travel plans before deciding which offer is better for you personally. I think all offers expire January 5th but they might be extended.

On a different note, the winner of my 20% off Southwest code giveaway was Scott with entry #3 per the random generator number. Congrats and hopefully you can use it to save some valuable points on your next flight.

I came across a good deal that could earn you a free flight if you were interested in signing up for or switching over to DIRECTV service. You can now earn 30,000 United miles or 25,000 American miles for signing up with DIRECTV on certain plans that start at $29.99/month plus taxes. Both offers are valid through 10/1/14.

The value of these miles could range from $300 to $600 depending how you would use them. In both United’s and American’s reward program, 25,000 miles will get you one domestic round trip flight (on average $300+ in value) OR a one way flight to Europe or South America (this would be closer to a $600+ value).

30,000 United or 25,000 American Miles. The choice is yours…

I’m not a DIRECTV customer but the prices seem fairly reasonable (especially if you want NFL Sunday Ticket since it is included at no extra charge). I obviously wouldn’t go out of my way to take advantage of this deal but if you already had some thoughts of switching, maybe this is the icing on the cake to do so.
