My 30,000-point weekend
Correction: I just realized my family has an additional 96,000 AAdvantage miles. This brings my total to 196,000 miles, though I still want to keep my goal at 40k/month to make it challenging. I haven’t really discussed my points and miles goals so far, but I’d like to earn at […]

RIP Vanilla Reload…and bye bye Bluebird?
If you’ve read any points and miles blogs over the past few months, you’ve surely heard of Vanilla Reload cards. When the Amex Bluebird card was released last month, everyone was excited about the potential to fund these cards with Vanilla Reloads and earn 5 points per $1 on their […]
Miles, money orders and prepaid cards
