What ways can I earn as many points or miles at this age? I have claimed the 1000 points on HHonors for changing password, and am a silver member after buying an upgrade for $2.
What other programmes are good to sign up to and that I can at 17, as I know many are 18+, and what ways are best to earn points without booking actual stays e.g. Buying points etc.
Many thanks
You can earn points by joining some survey sites, e-rewards that pays you to submit surveys, you can also join mypoints, which pays you as you click through adds, there are other similar cites like the above. Thing is that most are slow in accumulating points. For example, your 1000 pts you got to change your HH password will not get you anything, most HH nights are at least 15k.
You have time in your hand, is not that you are going to make a booking immediately, just keep chipping away and little by little you will have enough pts accumulated. Welcome to FT, stick around and you will learn numerous ways.
