Quite useless article - it is all about mileage earning via credit cards. Kinda like a reverse travel blog post.

Consider my case:

I am (used to be?) a very frequent (business) flyer, but I can't see myself losing out on the different FFPs. One can of course set up "value" for the miles, but as long as they keep coming in, their "book value" is zero, so if I save only $1 by using miles, I'm ahead. Same goes for hotel loyalty points. Yeah, a Maldives over-the-water villa might offer the "best value", but what if I never go to the Maldives? Again, if I save only $1 by using points for my room, I'm ahead.
