Register For Virgin America’s Feel The Earn Promotion

Virgin America's Elevate program has come out with a fairly lucrative promotion valid for travel between October 6 and December 19, 2014. Registration is required prior to your first travel date, though previously booked travel does also qualify for the promotion.

The promotion is entitled Feel The Earn, and through it Virgin America is offering a couple of ways to earn bonus Elevate points.

Virgin America Elevate members ordinarily earn five points per dollar spent on Virgin America, so through this promotion you earn 10 points per dollar spent on Main Cabin Select tickets (fare classes W, Q, and Z), and 15 points per dollar spent on First Class tickets (fare classes J, C, and D). The flight has to be marketed and operated by Virgin America to qualify, and the bonus is based on your original fare class -- in other words, an upgrade day of departure wouldn't qualify for the bonus.

Boston To Japan Thanks To Citi Exec MasterCard

When you can pick up 100,000 miles through a single credit card signup it is tough to turn down. Rinse and repeat as you and your family can to maximize your point balances and then make sure you’ve got a way to use these miles. As I mentioned yesterday my younger brother is headed to […]

A view from the Pagoda in Yangshuo

Crazy Lightning Photos I think most awesome lightning photos are fake or very lucky. I guess I don’t know what I mean by fake. I guess if you combine a bunch of lightning over a 30 minute storm into one photo, then that crosses the line a little for me. Trying to get it all […]

My 13+ Hour Flight Delay…

I'll have the full details tomorrow, but ouch. My flight was originally scheduled for 12:20AM, and is now scheduled to depart at 1:30PM.

Not sure what's worse:

-- A delay that long

-- That they didn't even spell the name of the destination city correctly

-- Being called a "pussy" and being told to "go f*ck myself" after trying to break up a pissing match between two guys in line who wanted to demonstrate their masculinity by out-cussing one another over what ultimately amounted to nothing
