Financial Times One-Year Subscription for 2,000 Frequent Flyer Miles
If you have frequent flyer miles from American, Delta or Northwest airlines which you have no other use for, you can get a 1-year subscription to Financial Times newspaper for 2,000 miles.
I like Financial Times because the FT has a lot of analysis and commentaries and a good coverage for international business news. It's a true world business newspaper whereas the Wall Street Journal is more focused within the U.S. Although FT's home base is in the UK, you are getting its US edition. There's still enough coverage for U.S. business and financial news. The commentaries are often written with an outsider's angle, which is very nice. The letters to editors come from intelligent people all over the world.
This is a great deal because the 1-year subscription to Financial Times normally costs $99. A 1-year subscription to its chief competitor the Wall Street Journal costs $249. At a usual value of $0.02 per mile, 2,000 frequent flyer miles are only worth $40. So for a value of about $40 you can get a quality newspaper delivered to your home or office six days a week for one full year. I see the paper as an ongoing business education at very low cost.

Just subscribed. Thanks for the tip.
Well FT is gone now. But another good one in the same vein is The Economist from the UK. 3200 miles and the subscription costs $116.79 a year. Too pricy for me to pay cash, but I can easily spend the miles. And you can stack the subscriptions if you have more than one account.
Also like Fast Company, just because it's a nicely made magazine and only costs 500 miles, which is almost a rounding error.
