First blog post, first blog. This blog will be focused on earning and spending frequent flier miles, hotel points, and other loyalty programs.
For the past several years, I've been learning how to take advantage of loyalty programs to earn free or low cost travel. I've learned a lot, but I'm still a novice in many ways. I started my quest because I love to travel but hate to pay for it. I've been a member of a few loyalty programs for years. The first was Delta which I joined around twenty years ago (ouch). But like many other people I just didn't travel frequently enough to build up much of a balance in any one program. Then, a few years ago, I began pursuing points and miles in earnest and learned that, with just a little thought and effort, it was possible to earn enough miles to take me to the places I wanted to go.
In this first post, I'd like to acknowledge some great folks who I've learned a lot from. The first is Randy Peterson, the founder of Flyertalk.com. Flyertalk is an invaluable resource and my first piece of advice is to sign up for a membership there. There are also three great bloggers that I check almost every day: Rick at the Frugal Travel Guy, Gary at View from the Wing, and Lucky at One Mile at a Time.
