EBay to Unveil 'Anything Points' Program
eBay launched a new promotion this week that lets consumers use airline miles and hotel loyalty points as credit toward items purchased on the online auction service. Through the eBay Anything Points program, members can convert points earned through American Airlines and Midwest Airlines frequent-flier programs, as well as Hilton hotel's loyalty program, into eBay credit. Anything Points are stored in members' PayPal accounts and can be used anywhere on eBay where PayPal is accepted. The online auction company said it plans to add more loyalty program partners to its points system in the future. One Anything Point is worth 1 cent toward the payment of an eBay item, according to the company Web site. The program is available only to eBay members with accounts registered in the United States or Canada. [Full story: eBay converts flyer miles to PayPal credit - BusinessWeek]
