Best source?
What is the best source that you all have found that you have invested dollars in for information regarding points, miles, and/or free travel?
What I mean is this....I received an email to upgrade my points.com membership to gold for $49.95. I would receive 1150 DM miles but I am not sure how else I would benefit. Would the mileage pro book offered in the ads here on flyertalk be a better source? It's $19.95. Free advice is great although we've all heard you get what you pay for. So, what should I pay for? Which source has been helpful to you?
Thanks for sharing your insight.

Your question seems to be apples and oranges. Unless the points.com program has changed, it is a points management and points conversion site. As I recall, the gold program reduces your transaction costs if you are a frequent user. Regarding FF education, I'm not sure you'd get much from the site.
I bought Randy's book (he owns and runs this site by the way) and I'll say it's a enjoyable read. After reading FT for a few years, I can't say there were any startling revelations but there were several good suggestions. I'd certainly recommend it to you.
