In the 8 or so years I have been familiar with Gary and his site from this and other forums, he has offered his ideas and information for free, and this is great. Many thanks to this. It carries forth much of the karma that surrounds and makes possible the world of mile and point sharing.
BUT, can ya'll imagine if he had somehow charged or received say, just 10 miles to use his site? Why, he'd have enough to circle the globe many times over!
Just a thought.
A note to the OP... you need to earn by all the means possible, not just one. Free miles, earned from flights, credit cards, and promos and even the schemas such as the coins from the US Mint. This is the best way to get there, where ever there may be. This forum is where people discuss and share ideas about the best and worst places to do business and how best to get your points. Good luck.
