Smile Help A noob!! need advise!

Hello flyer talk community!,

I'm a recent college grad, who is looking to go on some adventures before entering the work field. I have recently heard about travel hacks, miles run, and etc. I need a seasoned vet to give me a break down on what is what. I need to know about different CC, miles run (pref originating from LAX), rewards and perks, discounts, or anything i don't know about. I'd like to become an active member and hope to reach that 1mil miles marker someday. I'd appreciate all link and any help you guy can give, flamer accepted as well. Thank you.

Best advice I can give you......start reading, most of what you are asking for is already out there but noone is going to do the work for you.

Flamer here.

as a student you should learn the use of advise vs. advice.

Read my advice in this thread: http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/miles...ree-miles.html Come back with questions after doing some home work & search the Sticky threads at the top of the first page. Tons of good info there.
