Your Miles or Your Life?

February 26, 2014 By Leana 2 Comments

I have mentioned several times in my posts how important it is to be aware of the hassle factor when it comes to earning miles and points.This hobby is changing in ways I never thought it would, some good, some a bit over the top. Did you know that the most popular forum on Flyertalk […]

My Valuation of Miles and Points

February 10, 2014 By Leana 4 Comments

Originally, I planned to evaluate each mile and point program individually. However, at the end of the day, this will only be my personal opinion. So, please, take it as such.

As you have figured out by now, this will be a place for me to do my kinder, gentler rants/vents. Since this is a three part post, you can always skip this segment if you wish. The term “sellout blogger” is thrown around a lot in this industry. Many times undeservedly. So, I was […]
