work for it!

Another thing you could do is ask your employer to pay you in points and miles. How? Well, if he/she has a lot of miles, have him/her book all your flights. If employer has points at hotel chains, rooms can often be booked as well.

This is free
Then quit them promptly and be tempted nay further, for they are evil!

I rarely do more than merely click to get the 5 points but today I signed up for RewardTV through MyPoints and got 25 more points for doing so... And, at http://www.rewardtv.com, you simply enter the TV shows you saw on the given day and answer trivia about them and the commercials aired during these shows. You rack up points (surveys are long but kinda cool) and these can be used for many things. I am not sure if miles is one of them, but gift cards are and those are worth money. Interestingly enough, I found I remembered more about commercials than the show haha
