Hi all, MM_someday introducing myself. 26 y/o, fresh PhD and engineer-startup owner from Chicago relocating to Phoenix next year with the fiancee, and massive fan of all things optimization and travel. As you can tell by the username, wannabe million miler/lifetime gold on United, and regularly fly to ORD for personal and business travel. New to Flyertalk, lurked around for a few months before deciding to join, and absolutely jealous of some of y'alls eye for deals.
Currently on a AAhotel booking spree to spoil my S/O every other weekend, but the secret is I figured it would cost me less to book award travel for our parents' with the miles than buy biz fares outright, at least until the next devaluation. On a little side project with optimizing credit cards around our lifestyle to save for our honeymoon
