My chance to give back. I got in the game in 2003 with a "mistake rate" in Bora Bora and since then I've collected literally millions and millions of frequent flyer miles and hotel points. I've flown around the world in first class seats that would cost $29,000 using frequent flyer miles and a few bucks in tax. And I've stayed in some of the finest hotels - all for free! I've hosted two seminars on miles and points at South By Southwest in Austin, and have been quoted in the Wall Street Journal, published on Bravo TV's JetSet site, and spoken on the Condé Nast Traveler podcast series.

Until early April, affiliate channels like this site had access to increased signup offers on the Delta Amex credit cards. You could get 70,000 bonus miles and a $100 statement credit on the Delta Platinum card (+ 10,000 MQMs) or…
I’ve gotten a dozen messages about the below email that Roomi sent out today about RoomiPay. I know – it doesn’t look great. The gist is that RoomiPay will be available to those who register for Roomi and verify their…
An online lender called Credibly has partnered with American Airlines’ Business Extra program to offer up to 20,000 Business Extra points with a funded business loan of up to $250,000. I’ll break the offer down a bit, but I’m going to…
I wrote earlier in the week about the Ebates week-long 15% cash back at select stores. Mixed in are some one-day-only specials. Today’s is for Hilton. The very odd thing about it is that it only applies if you DO…
