Did you know that if you took all the unused frequent flyer miles in the world, you could travel round the world in first class, 70 million times!
Travelling frequently has a few perks and frequent flyer miles are one of them. Airlines have recently began offering frequent flyer miles for lots of activities other than flying. This means that smart travel hackers can collect millions of frequent flyer miles without ever stepping foot on a plane.
These can then be redeemed for luxurious first class and business class tickets. I want to show you that there are dozens of ways to do this. The airlines even promote these very tactics and encourage you to collect miles in this way!
I actually wrote a massive 60 page guide on frequent flyer miles and sold it on another website of mine. However, I have decided to update it slightly and give it away for free in a new series of blog posts on ProNomad.net – Frequent Flyer Wednesdays!
Like I said before, I am a frequent air traveller and a member of a number of frequent flyer programs. When I was 18 years old, I booked my first Premium Class frequent flyer award ticket. I travelled to Japan on a $8,000 Virgin Atlantic seat, and they stayed in a $15 a night hostel.
A simple tip you can use right now
The world’s second largest travel forum is a website dedicated to frequent flyer miles and air travel. Flyertalk has over 250,000 members and 13 million posts. It has every piece of information you could ever want to know about Airlines, Frequent Flyer Miles, Airports, Hotels and Credit Cards.
See for yourself. Check it out and read up on some of the classic stories.
The good info explained to you in plain English
Flyertalk can be difficult to get your head around. All the abbreviations and technical terms which are used, together with the forum style layout can make finding just the basic information a challenge.
The best deals are those which few others are exploiting. They are the deals which you can work out for yourself, rather than jumping on the bandwagon with thousands of others. Half way down page 21 of an obscure thread may have a crucial piece of information that everyone else overlooks. This may be the key to the next great deal.
Frequent flyer Wednesdays will bring the best mileage earning and spending strategies to you once a week, every week for free. The project will also show you some specific mileage earning deals which earn the most amount of miles for the least possible effort.
Stick around and subscribe for free to ProNomad.net to receive the next instalment of the guide each week. If you follow this guide, you will be able to take a first or business class flight very shortly, without paying for it.
