If anyone is interested, please check out this thread on FlyerTalk.
For the two people that are reading this and [...]

I know I’m jumping on the bandwagon a bit late here, but I just got converted last night. Live Search Club is giving out “tickets” for playing their online games, and those “tickets” can be traded for miles.
1,800 tickets can be traded for 1,000 miles. These miles can be transferred to your Alaska, American, Delta, [...]

I’ve been meaning to make this post for a long time now, but never actually got around to it. Tons of people post complaint letters publicly, and quite frankly 90% of them crack me up. What makes me laugh? The fact that people write page-long diatribes when they’re just fishing for compensation.
Below I’ll offer a [...]

While it’s not new news, I just picked up on this story now, and found it pretty interesting. It’s just an example of an event, which is fortunately uncommon, being turned into a massive war between two organizations.
RENO, Nev. – An air traffic controller taken ill while on duty in Reno sparked a volley of [...]

I know I’m a bit late here, but a friend just pointed out to me that Tumi is having a sale right now. While it’s mostly older models, there are some really great bags listed at great prices. My primary bag (Madison 22″) is on sale for $100 less than I bought it for a few months [...]

As I posted about a few days ago, today is a My Coke Rewards double points day for fridge packs. I entered 10 codes before noon and will enter another 10 soon, so it’s a 400 point day for me! So in case you forgot, start entering all those codes, or if Coke products are on sale at [...]

Just a heads up to those that collect My Coke Rewards points. June 25 will be a double points day, but apparently it only applies to fridge packs (so I guess 12 packs). I’ll definitely have ten codes ready for that day to earn an extra 100 points.

Here’s a very interesting offer. The US Mint is releasing special presidential dollar coins, and offering free shipping in order to increase circulation. You can order up to $500 worth of each president, and it seems like four presidents will be released each year. While it’s not a ton of miles, it’s a pretty good amount for doing [...]

Before my serious, bitter sounding post of the night (and trust me, that’s an understatement), I have something I’d like some thoughts on. I’ve blogged many times about My Coke Rewards points and how I collect them. Well, today I might have hit a new low.
I’m taking classes this summer to get a few extra [...]

Let’s face it, we’ve all looked through the SkyMall catalogue at least a million times when we run out of other things to do. I’ll admit I find some of the stuff in the magazine to be pretty cool, but some stuff is just plain crazy. For those crazy things, there’s an absolutely hilarious article about [...]
