I am feeling better about missing the boat (plane) for so long on this, after hearing veterans like yourselves talk about have the revelation! I flew to Ireland last year and it never occurred to me to sign up and get the miles! After this year's trip to Greece where I smartened up and got almost 9,000 miles on AA, I'd almost have another ticket!
Oh well, this past month's articles in USA today about the currency of miles really opened my eyes tyo the fact that "miles" are here to stay. While some of the point sites have crashed and burned, I believe that some are going to stay around! All the big players are in it, don't you think?
Has anyone checked out the milesbar site? there is a link at the bottom of this post, any feedback? There is a pyramid aspect to it but not all of those are bad, are they?
I gave it a shot...
