I know, epic? Everyone has their own definition of an Epic trip. To some, epic means a six-month round-the-world trip. To others–a long-awaited and meticulously prepared family trip to Disney World. To me, an epic trip occurs when three conditions are met. 1. The trip should have longer than a 10-day span and… 2. The trip should cover an… Continue Reading

How to Get United Club Access Free for the First Year
The regular Chase United Club Credit Card carries $395 annual fee with a $100 statement credit. As I mentioned in my yesterday Definitive Guide to Free or Cheap access to Airport Lounges, it is possible to get this card with the annual fee waived for the first year, although this won’t work for everyone. Out… Continue Reading
Weekend MishMash 01.11.14 Credit Cards, Merger Sweet Spots, etc.
I meant to post this on Friday just like the last week—I’m trying to bring some order into my chaotic blog—but it was not to be. I read about that newest SkyClub rate hike perpetrated by Delta, promptly got outraged and just had to say a few words about it. Sorry. Won’t happen again. Oh,… Continue Reading
Friday Mishmash: Free Book, New Southwest & Capital One Bonus, LAN to Latin America, Atlantic City
This is going to be a long post. Sorry about that. I’ve been criticized that I don’t post every day, but the reason for that is simple. It’s very hard for me to say something when I’ve got nothing to say. I know it doesn’t stop other bloggers who keep talking no matter what, but… Continue Reading
Just a Few Words Before I Start Drinking…
It has been a good year, and the next one is going to be even better. Despite all the past and future devaluations, mergers, and anguish, it doesn’t seem we have lost or going to lose the ability to travel for next to nothing. True, travel is never nothing, it’s always gonna cost us. But next… Continue Reading
Stay Lazy!
Those of you who understand that the titles of this website and my book series are not a cute marketing gimmick (it would be a terrible marketing gimmick, by the way) know that my philosophy about getting free travel is very simple. I do not want to invest my whole life into this hobby. Of… Continue Reading
Random Grunts
What a year it has been! A roller coaster, no less! Endless devaluations, endless rants, arguments, blogger wars, you name it. Our tiny, overcrowded niche is spilling over. Never before has our hobby been so entertaining, and not just to us–certified nutheads–but even to the folks standing on a sidewalk looking in. Ah, the hell with… Continue Reading
Record-High 50,000-mile Alaska Airlines Credit Card Offer
I was dragging my feet before posting it here, but it seems that folks have been getting confirmation of the bonus, so I think the risk is low at this point. Alaskan is a fantastic airline, but what’s even more fantastic is all the partners you can redeem their miles on, including Delta and Emirates.… Continue Reading
Now That the Draw is Over–Fly to World Cup in Brazil for Free
Listen! I know that when something sounds too good to be true, it probably is. Not only do I know this adage, I also subscribe to it. It works all the time! But, there is always but… The adage says probably. It doesn’t say always. If it said “always is” I would have an issue with that. Just like I have… Continue Reading
I Had to Go to Panama City for Two Days This Week
It wasn’t a pleasure trip. I went for my cousin’s funeral. She was a brilliant woman, successful at everything she put her mind to; business, writing, real estate. She was writing her doctoral when this happened. Despite her long-time illness, she would travel around the world over and over, and she was a mile-and-point junkie… Continue Reading
