Here are the offers that jump out at me as being especially worth considering:
- FTD offering 30 American Airlines miles per dollar, plus 300 additional miles for Citi Advantage credit card holders, for flower purchased.
- For those with a hankering for United miles, FTD is also promoting 30 Mileage Plus miles per dollar for Valentine’s Day.
- And FTD’s offer of 30 United miles per dollar plus 150 miles per order appears to still be working as well.
- Through February 14, Teleflora will give 25 US Airways miles per dollar.
- 1-800-Flowers has a 40 Delta mile per dollar offer with promo code 52DE.
Thanks for the timely post. Was just getting around to looking into flower deals.
Dont forget if you go through the skymiles shopping portal you currently get another 5 Delta skymiles plus the 40 on the promo plus whatever miles or points card you use.
Do any of these stack with cashback web portals like BigCrumbs?
Still thinking about this for Delta, but wow, a $14.95 service charge on the end of something that was a “Free Delivery” offer seems kind of steep. The points will liekly get the best of me though. 🙂
Thanks Gary, now I don’t need to track these down.
Which company has best quality flowers?
MJLouise–
Having spent nearly $2,000 total with 1800flowers and FTD in 2011, I’d say both companies have jems and duds. I’d recommend buying items from both FTD and 1800flowers that are “Florist Delivered” instead of “sent directly in a gift box”, but that doesn’t mean that the boxed flowers are crap.
I gave my Fiancee 2 separate orders from flowers that were part of the FTD Luxury Collection, and she loved those more than any floral arrangements she’d ever received in her entire life— and these were “Flowers in a box.”
Something to consider though is that the “flowers in a box” do require a little labor in removing them from the box and putting them into a vase. So if you’re sending non florist delivered flowers to an elderly person, or someone that doesn’t have dexterity in their hands you might want to stick with the “arranged by a local florist” flower arrangements.
Be careful what you order though, since items with an asterisk symbol [ *] listed on the first page when you link to FTD on a mileage earning offer mean that certain items are ineligible for earning miles.
My only caveat is the FTD miles (at least on UAL) do not post for almost 2 months…
Also true with FTD miles taking 2-2.5months to post for American Airlines.
Miles post usually within a month, sometimes quicker… sometimes within 2 weeks for my experiences with 1800flowers and American Airlines.
i clicked on the Teleflora link and it said the promo code was invalid?
Wprks for me still
