Where To Credit

• Flyers can find the most advantageous airline to credit their frequent flyer miles to
• The Where to Credit web site works with almost all major airline alliances like Star Alliance, SkyTeam, and OneWorld
• The most important thing to remember when using Where to Credit is to use the airline that is actually operating the flight, not an airline using a codeshare situation

Many flyers have one certain airline that they like to travel more than others, if only to rack up frequent flyer miles even faster. But if someone is taking a trip on an airline they don’t usually fly with, those miles don’t have to go to waste. They can likely be credited to a partner airline that the traveler does fly with. Some airlines will credit a portion of miles from another carrier, while some will credit 100%, so it’s important to use Where to Credit to see the best situation.

Where To Credit Comments

• Flyers can figure out the best place to credit their plan trip to maximize their frequent flyer miles and rewards
• Flyers who may be traveling an unfamiliar route can take a look at the benefits of crediting their miles to each different airline
• Before Where to Credit, flyers would have to find this information from each specific airline’s website
• Wheretocredit does offer links to airline website to make sure information is as up to date as possible.

Of course, the amount of miles earned depends on the class of travel the flyer is using, and Where to Credit takes that into account. Where to Credit even offers a Chrome extension that lets travelers see how many miles they would earn booking from a site like Orbitz or Hotwire.

To contact Where to Credit:

Where to Credit doesn’t offer any contact information of their own, but recommends that customers who have questions about crediting frequent flyer miles contact the specific airlines they are interested in.

Norton Set Up

• Customers who have purchased a Norton product can visit the Norton Setup website to register and activate their software
• To start the Norton activation process, customers will need to sign in with product key
• Once a Norton product is registered, customers can manage their subscription and devices, and download Norton software updates automatically

Registering Norton software is required before it can be used, and is the best way to make sure the software functions properly. If a customer doesn’t already have an account with Norton, they will need to create one. Creating a Norton account requires a valid e-mail address and a cell phone number to ensure the quickest verification. When customers register their Norton software, they are helping fight against fraudulent downloads and other forms of piracy.

Norton Set Up Comments

• Free to register and use
• Norton software that is registered automatically downloads the latest virus definitions to keep up with changing technology
• A must for anyone who owns more than one Norton product
• Please dial (855) 815-2726 for any question in regards to the Norton set up process

More About Norton

Norton is one of the most popular names in anti-virus software around the world and usually holds about 60 to 70% of the market. Norton is most known for protecting against downloaded viruses, but the program also provides firewalls, e-mail spam filters, and phishing protection.

• First released in 1991
• Many people have criticized Norton because the software is notoriously difficult to fully uninstall, and often leaves files behind
• Created by Symantec who has also faced criticism when technicians would tell customers their computers were infected with viruses and charge them expensive fees when the computers were really fine
• Main competition comes from Kapersky

The Norton Corporate office is based at 350 Ellis Street, Mountain View, CA 94043 and can be reached by phone at 1 650-527-8000 (please do not call this number in regards to the Norton setup process).
