Evolution The evolution of cheap fares through phone apps is underway. Recently Jetto launched from ExtraPackofPeanuts, and now I know the Pilot. Jetto is an interesting app, as I’m familiar with Travis Sherry’s website (EPoP) and selling prowess. The problem I have with Jetto, and it’s a pretty big problem, is that the flight ...

Aspiration Travel and Credit Card Applications

Bling & Splash Splashy and bling filled redemptions are popular in the points hobby. People seem to love spending large chunks of points on airline first class suites, and apartments topped off with shower’s at 40,000 feet, high end champagne, and intimate service. In accordance with FIDA (Fairness in Disclosure Act), I like to get

The Opposite of Travel Hacking

Distorted Morality When I describe the points hobby with people I know and meet, a common response often arises. “Oh, so you’re scamming the system!” When I initially heard that, I was confused and maybe even a little insulted.

Just Not Sure I’ve been working on a travel hacking book for the better part of a year now. It’s my first book, although I’ve done some independent writing at various times in my life, and it’s been a personal goal of mine to accomplish. The book has taken many hours to write and research,

US Bank Flexperks vs. Chase Sapphire Reserve?

Best New Manufactured Spending Blog of 2017?

Embarrased Even with a moniker like MillionMileGuy, I’m not much into self promotion. The moniker was chosen mostly for fun, but also because it’s an accurate way of looking at my award point accumulation and outlook each year. Earning a million award points was my first big goal in the points and miles hobby, and

New Music Added: February 2018 Playlist

Pump Up the Jam(s) I enjoy music, audio and video. When I was creating my website, I wanted to have some of those aspects included. When I travel, I pick up on various media pretty quickly. Some of it’s amazing, some okay, others aren’t so great. With that said, I’m trying to add new music
