Welcome

Welcome to the Frequent Miler blog!  This blog is for travelers looking for creative new ways to earn airline miles and points.  For example, you will find a series of posts about the search for the Perfect Perpetual Point Machine.  A perpetual point machine (PPM) is a technique for earning miles and points over and over with minimal cost or effort.  Another series you will find here is about Gift Card Churning.  Gift card churning is the process of earning points and miles for buying, upgrading, and using or selling gift cards.  Yes, it is possible to create a PPM out of a clever gift card churn, but not all PPMs involve gift cards and not all gift card churns are perpetual.

If you are new to “travel hacking”, consider signing up for my weekly e-newsletter called “Free Trips and Tricks”.  While my daily blog is really written for people already well versed in this miles and points game, my newsletter is a step by step guide for newcomers.  In the newsletter I’ll teach you the best tricks I know for traveling free (or at least cheaply), and in style.  Signup here.  When you get sick of the newsletter, you can always unsubscribe.

Be Prepared

Often deals come and go quickly and so you need to be ready to jump on them right away. To help you be prepared, check out the Frequent Miler page titled “Preparing for Miles“.
