Chrstopher Elliott is running a poll about the best travel blog. Somewhat surprisingly, I’m nominated. Now, I can’t imagine actually winning a best blog award voted on by his readers. Goodness knows he and I have had our disagreements in the past, and our audiences – who our writings are likely to appeal to – […]

“The Voice In Your Head Isn’t Lying” : Sara Lovett’s Quest

Before it became a popular social media experiment, Sara Lovett had an original idea: to reconnect with her 166 Facebook friends in person. She quit her job, got in her car (sometimes with her poodle, Stanley), and drove across three countries to see everyone.

Buy US Airways Miles For 1.88 Cents Each!

Earlier today I wrote about the Buy MIles promotions being offered by both American AAdvantage and US Airways Dividend Miles through November 30, 2014.

As of October, US Airways has changed the way they sell miles, in the sense that they'll apparently no longer be offering a 100% bonus on purchased miles. Instead they've kind of met somewhere in the middle in terms of how the two loyalty programs have approached selling miles. Under the current promotion they're selling miles for as little as ~2.06 cents each.

However, reader Jay pointed out that apparently US Airways is still offering a 100% bonus on purchased miles for those with the US Airways Premier World MasterCard®. The promotion can be found after logging in at usairways.com/mcwelcome, and is valid through December 31, 2014.
