I believe 25,000 points will get you 25,000 AA miles, but it takes a lot to get there, including posting many, many journals with multiple chapters and best of all, photos.QUOTE]

Actually, 25,000 points will get you 5,000 AA miles. You get some bonus points just for joining (1,000) and you get points for writing journals -- 50 to 350 points depending on your journals' "rating". Also, everytime a registered user reads your journals (10 points), upload a picture (10 to 25 points), etc.

It's not a lot, and it takes some work -- but if you keep a journal of your travels and take a lot of pictures anyway, these points are a bonus.

BTW, I'm a new journal writer going as HawaiianFlyer -- I'll check out as many of your journals as possible.....would appreciate the same.
