Free course on Travel Hacking

A couple of guys I follow on twitter are putting together a course on Travel Hacking. It will be released next month. Thought some (myself included) might be interested in it. They are giving away a free ebook for simply signing up to the "coming soon" email list about the course. The free ebook is named "7 Tips, Tricks and Busted Myths About Credit Cards and Travel Hacking

Do you think they will have anything to say that is new and hasn't been said 100 hundred or more times before?

no, but I bet they will end it with selling an advanced edition, which still will have nothing that we all do not already know

I'm unclear what "travel hacking" even means.

Someone coined the name "travel hacking" for this hobby. Personally, I don't like the term, because "hacking" has a negative connotation in the computer world. I don't think we're doing anything dishonest or harmful at all. But the term has stuck.

Hacking is not necessarily a negative term in the computer world!

You really shouldn't post your personal email in a forum that can be seen by anyone on the internet...

lucydney - If you want to contact someone, click on the handle (user name) of that member in front of a post that member made (like the "Counsellor" in front of this message). It is a link, and a drop-down menu will come up that will allow you to send that person a "Private Message" or PM. You can exchange PMs, or send your e-mail address via PM without posting it publicly.
