I am brand new to FT and have a lot to learn.

I have always been the type of person to take advantage to any deals I ever knew about. Now that our children are grown I want to travel. I never had signed up for a ff account or a hotel program till a few years ago. It all started with trips when we went to Disney and I noticed some info on Marriott's program and I signed up. I thought maybe one day we can get a free room. Lol! Anyway I read a lot and heard about opening a new brokerage account for the ff miles, so I did. Then I hear about a United card and so I signed up for that. Soon we were on our way to Denver for free. Then I started reading FW and found out about the Citi TY points and we were on our way to Vegas for free. I then found out about FT and just signed up myself and hubby for the AA cards from Citi and am hoping for the free trip to Hawaii this spring. I am such an addict now. There are so many places I want to go that I never thought would be possible.
We don't have lots of time to travel so I would love to get bumped or churn some cards for the miles. We can't do the MR's because of the time off work. Neither one of us does any travel for work. I hope to find some other ways to collect miles by reading FT.

I have gotten both my children involved in the ff accounts. My daughter does some travel for work and she always collects her miles and points from the hotels. My son doesn't travel much but he and his wife were also able to get a free trip to Vegas from the TY point program.

I am so excited to learn more from FT!
