Frequent Flyer Miles

Last weekend was my first experience using frequent flyer miles. I flew on Alaska to Denver to visit a friend. The whole trip cost less than $150. My flight was basically free, only a $7.50 handling charge, then there was golf, dinners, drinks, blah blah blah. I've decided I want to rack up as many frequent flyer miles as I can to get more free trips. Unfortunately, earning more miles will take several years (It's been 3 years since I opened the account and this was the first time I've used it). I recently got the Alaska Air Visa card which adds a mile per dollar spent. It takes about 20,000 miles (or dollars) to fly somewhere. What other ways can I get more miles???

Saw your blog about personal finance software - as it is along the same lines I thought I would share this link with you. We were paying far too much for family things like clothes for us and the kids, games consoles inc the new Wii and soon to be PS3, car insurance/home insurance/pet insurance, broadband, mobile phones, landline calls, home and garden items, camping equipment and utilities/loans etc - you name it, we were spending too much on it.

Then a friend of mine recommended a site called www.bargainplace.co.uk. We were able to get cheaper electricity, gas, mobile phone, broadband and loan deals at bargainplace. Thanks to my friend (and the site) I am saving something like £100 a month and can afford an extra holiday abroard each year. Booked of course on www.bargainplace.co.uk. Thanks bargainplace ;-) !!
