Sweet Willie, I'd like to respectfully disagree.</font>
MeLike2Travel I encourage your opinion, that is what this board is about, opinions. IMO the more discussion/information on a topic, the better one can decide if it is a good situation for them.
In the reading/viewing/surfing
NEVER has a financial advisor stated that pursuing FF miles is a worthwhile financial benefit activity, there is a reason for that. The reading I've done states that in no way should one make financial decisions based on how much they will earn in FF miles. Again, I'm here on Flyertalk, so I obviously don't agree fully, but the past few years of travel have been on my own nickel and while I value my airline status still, in no way do I value my hotel status, the $ did just not work. Hence, my point about if miles are earned via your own nickel (not a company's) some FF mile/Hotel point programs do not make $ sense.

Enquiring minds would like to know, how.
Also, perhaps you could share your actual strategy w/
barefoot and other FT'ers so that we may benefit from your knowledge as you have from FT.
