Sorry if this is old: Promotion Extension! ETRADE Launches 'Tell-A-Friend' Promotion with United Airlines PR Newswire, Wednesday, June 16, 1999 at 08:43 ETRADE Customers Receive 5,000 United Airlines Mileage Plus Miles - Per Friend - When a Friend Opens a New ETRADE Account PALO ALTO, Calif., June 16 /PRNewswire/ -- ETRADE(R) Group Inc. (NASDAQ:EGRP) today announced it has extended the reach of its popular airline mileage promotion, launched in January 1999, through an exclusive agreement with United Airlines. Under the extended program, ETRADE customers who refer a friend to ETRADE receive 5,000 United Airlines Mileage Plus(TM) miles -- per friend -- when the friend opens a new ETRADE account. The new "Tell-A-Friend" promotion delivers another value-added benefit for ETRADE customers and represents an additional facet of ETRADE's innovative customer acquisition strategy. As part of the program, which included introducing ETRADE to the more than 25 million United Airlines Mileage Plus members, the "Tell-A-Friend" promotion gives current ETRADE customers an opportunity to earn up to 50,000 Mileage Plus miles per year. In addition, the friend opening the new ETRADE account can earn up to 25,000 Mileage Plus miles, depending on the size of the initial deposit. With "Tell-A-Friend," ETRADE is taking its successful loyalty marketing programs to the next level by introducing a significant incentive designed not only to attract new ETRADE customers, but also to retain current ones. "We expect the 'Tell-A-Friend' promotion will be another successful part of an agreement that has partnered the world's largest airline with the nation's most-visited online investing site," said Jerry Gramaglia, chief marketing officer for ETRADE. "Our customers already are encouraging their friends to open ETRADE accounts and join the online investing movement. This promotion gives additional incentive to spread the word about ETRADE and the empowerment it offers individual investors." Available only to ETRADE customers through the Destination ETRADE web site, this promotion targets the self-directed investors that have helped ETRADE become the nation's most-visited online investing web site. According to Media Metrix(TM) for the month of April 1999, the Destination ETRADE web site had an Internet reach that exceeded the combined reach of the Charles Schwab and Ameritrade sites. Continued Gramaglia, "Word-of-mouth can be an incredibly valuable resource in retaining current customers and adding new ones. We're extremely gratified that so many of our customers have become 'ambassadors' for ETRADE. We've always focused on providing a content-rich site that contributes to a rewarding customer experience, and our program with United Airlines is another step in the right direction."
