NOT for Flyertalkers

This is NOT a site for the typical Flyertalker.

The owner of this site, Brandon Wade, also owns SeekingMillionaire, SeekingArrangement, and WhatsYourPrice. On SA, "attractive" memebers advertise the monthly support they are requesting to enter into an arrangement with a "wealthy" match; on the latter site, you make a cash offer to someone to go on a first date with you. SM is more of a "vanilla" site for people who consider income to be a key part of what they either offer or seek in a potential dating partner.

While I don't know much about the details of the "Miss Travel", the idea that you can "earn frequent flier miles" is probably based on Wade's idea that "affluent" travelers will compensate "attractive" travelers partly in frequent flier currency. I rather doubt he has examined in detail the point and mile transfer policies of various loyalty programs.

I'm not passing judgment on Wade, on his sites, or on anyone who would try to meet someone through any of them. I'm saying that on a scale of 100 where 0 is "This is a loyalty program site" and 100 is "This is a sugar daddy site," I would probably rate this site a 99. With that said, for those FTers who don't care to travel alone, this might be an option to explore. Just prepare to deal with all the b******* that goes with dating sites to begin with, and to be asked to compensate your travel partner in some way.
