Google continues its seasonally aggressive Checkout campaign, again offering discounts and special promotions in advance of Cyber Monday.
The company rattled eBay's cage last year by launching Checkout and succeeding in luring away PayPal users. Checkout remains one of the few Google products the company actively promotes.
This year, in addition to discounts between $10 and $50 and offers of free shipping, Checkout users will be racking up frequent flyer miles as well.
Google has secured participation from seven different airlines including Alaska, Continental, Delta, Midwest, Northwest, US, and United.
Noticeably lacking from the lineup is American Airlines, currently embroiled in a trademark violation lawsuit against Google.
In addition to promotional offers, Google has also set up Checkout so that users can donate to various charitable causes such as California wildfire relief via the Red Cross and The Salvation Army, March of Dimes, the William J. Clinton Global Initiative, and the One Laptop Per Child program.
