United offering up to 50,000 bonus miles for flying

In a refreshing change of pace, United is offering a bonus of up to 50,000 miles if you fly on their airline. Considering they’re making billions of dollars a year in profit, it’s nice to see them giving a little back to fliers in the next couple of months. Your individual offer may be more or less (or not at all), as United is marketing this as an “exclusive offer” but the three people I’ve checked with...

Why, and how, we pay rent with credit

Credit cards are one of the best and easiest ways to rack up a ton of miles and points every year, but it can be quite difficult at times to hit those minimum spends each year, especially if you’re applying for more than one card a year. The card we just applied for, the Delta Skymiles American Express, requires $50,000 a year in spending to earn the full 20,000 elite miles promised as a benefit of the card. It seems that all of...

We’re going to the FTU in October, are you?

If you don’t know what a FTU is, don’t worry.  Until my first event back in 2014 I hadn’t heard of it either. FTU stands for Frequent Traveler University, and there are usually a few all over the US every year.  This year they actually held one outside in Berlin, but it was a bit too far for us. When I first attended the FTU in Seattle there were a few hundred other like minded people, all sharing secrets and tips...

Earning miles for free with eBay!

One of the questions that we are constantly asked is “How in the world do you travel so much?  Doesn’t it cost you a fortune?”  Surprisingly the answer is “It doesn’t have to, no…” which usually leads to a much deeper conversation on generating points and miles for free, etc, which in turn gets the glazed over look on people’s eyes and zoned out stares.  We know, we’re used to this, but for those of us in the miles and points world...

If you recall the post from a couple weeks back about Google Flights, you can use that to search for cheap airfare.  Here’s the link to that post.  Some of the deals that we’ve seen...
