New Music Added: March 2018 Playlist

March 2018 Playlist A playlist that includes music from Brazil, Jamaica, Italy, Nigeria, Sweden, England, and U.S.A.

I saw him in concert at

New Cheap Flight App: I Know the Pilot

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.

US Bank Flexperks vs. Chase Sapphire Reserve?

Say What? For some comparing the FlexPerks Travel Rewards Visa Signature to the Chase Sapphire Reserve is blasphomy. In many ways it is for me too. They are totally separate products with different benefits, earn rates, and annual fees. The Flexperks has an annual fee of $49, while the much publicized Sapphire Reserve has a

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
