Do you love to travel?  I do.  To me there is no better feeling on earth than boarding a plane to visit some far off corner of the world.  Except, of course, when I’m boarding the plane in first class, and I didn’t have to pay for the ticket.  Now we’re talking…

I’ve flown first class to six different continents using frequent flyer miles.  The combined cost of these tickets are well over $150,000, but I didn’t have to pay for any of it.  Sure, I got a lot of those miles from my business traveling, but I’ve gotten the majority of my miles with my feet firmly on the ground.  Now I’m happy to share all of my methods with you.

As you click through my blog you’ll learn how to choose the best airline credit card to maximize your free travel.  You’ll learn how everyday shopping and expenses can earn you thousands of miles with little to no hassle.  I’ll also show you how much frequent flyer miles are actually worth.

Pretty soon you’ll be swimming in miles!  But they’re useless until you figure out the 5 keys to booking award travel.  That information is covered in here as well.

In addition to this blog, I’ve developed some practical tools to really help you in your quest for free travel.  The first tool I've made available is at marsfrequentflyer.com.  The site will assist you in using alliances to book award travel with your current stash of frequent flyer miles or credit card points.  MARS is free, so feel free to use it liberally!  And please bear with me for a little bit – it isn’t compatible with all browsers yet but we’re working on it.
