Here's all you need to do before May 23, 2014:

  1. “Learn and Earn”  – Play trivia and other games to earn up to 700 miles
  2. Share and complete social actions to earn up to 350 miles
  3. Fly our expanded network to earn over 9,000 miles

This takes a little more time than the miles are worth but its kinda fun and I always enjoy getting additional miles.  I earned just under 1000 miles and it should take you about 20 minutes.
