United is offering a 20% discount on economy awards to Europe flown this winter.

Instead of the normal 60,000 miles roundtrip, Saver awards to nine airports in Europe will cost only 48,000 miles roundtrip.

This is a good deal if you were already planning to use United miles to fly to Europe this winter, but there are better deals for winter travel to Europe.

Update 11/1/14: I got the 7,500 miles.

Saturday I went to a Cadillac dealership in La Quinta, California to test drive a Cadillac to earn 7,500 American Airlines miles.

Unfortunately the deal is now dead as View from the Wing reported (and no, I don't have any idea whether your scheduled or completed test drive will earn the miles.)

I'll post my experience anyway because these test drive promos in which you can earn something like miles or a prepaid gift card are common enough.

What was the process?
How long did it take?
Did I have to

You can get 7,500 American Airlines miles for test driving any new Cadillac, and you might not even have to do the 10 minute test drive.

From the promo page:
Right now, AAdvantage® members can earn 7,500 AAdvantage miles when you test drive any Cadillac* vehicle, including the striking 2015 CTS sedan with available adaptive cruise control and available OnStar 4G LTE with Wi-Fi®**.

Barclaycard sent me a targeted email because I have The US Airways® Premier World MasterCard®.
