Birthdays and free food
There’s something about having your birthday. People congratulate you, the jokes about you having one foot in the grave fly around, and you can enjoy free food from restaurants.

Using Twitter to your advantage
I signed up for the first time for Twitter because United was going to give a prize to their first 10,000 followers on Twitter. It turned out to be 1,500 Mileage Plus miles. I must admit I didn’t really see the point in using Twitter. It seemed like a way for companies to boast about…

A great start to our trip
We were upgraded to first class as the last two seats available on the redeye to Atlanta. I feared that our infant would cry the whole time, but she slept the whole way. It was a much better experience than we would have fared in row 42. The terminal was packed with people. It looked…
Credit card churning success
For the past two years my wife and I have been doing some serious heavy duty credit card churning to rack up miles. In the back of my mind, I figured that it was probably going to disqualify me from being able to refinance. However, the recent significant drops in rates gave me the urge…
Our upcoming trip to the Bahamas
I always get really excited when it’s time to start traveling again. There’s something about getting ready for a new destination that gets my blood pumping. I will be heading to the Bahamas for the first time. I will be staying at the British Colonial Hilton and at the Atlantis Resort. I remember the Atlantis…
