I received a letter in the mail yesterday from Northwest Airlines offering Guest Silver Elite status from now until the end of February 2008. The letter says that I received the offer because I am, “a valued Marriott Rewards member.” It’s always good to know that I’m valued.
Some of the benefits of Northwest WorldPerks Silver Elite are:
- Complimentary First Class Upgrades
- 50% mileage bonus
- Priority Check-in and boarding
- Silver Elite reservations line
These perks are very similar, if not the same as those in the Continental Airlines OnePass program of which I’m currently an elite member. I checked out the promotion website just the same. You need the promotion code contained in the letter in order to get the offer. They’re also offering easier access to Silver and Gold status on NWA in 2007 if you fly two or five “qualifying roundtrips” respectively.
I don’t plan on flying Northwest anytime soon. I have flown them before to cities such as Detroit, Minneapolis, Bismarck and Calgary. Since my plans are taking me to other places I will be flying frequently on Continental. If you’re a non-elite Northwest flyer then this offer would probably make traveling a bit easier. In that case, keep an eye on your mailbox for a letter containing the offer.
