Miles Update

We are half way into 2009 and I just thought I would give an update of what I have earned so far this year.

When we got back from the Bahamas I had a free Jetblue flight waiting for me, I charged all our dinners with the Jetblue card. The food is very expensive, we were 8 people each night and Jetblue gives double credits for restaurants.

Delta is having a great promotion and by the time it ends in 2 weeks I will have earned an extra 22,000 miles.

Starwood is also having a great promotion which we are capitalizing on. Stay and pay for 2 nights and get a free weekend night. I normally do not pay for hotel rooms but for this promotion I decided it was worth it. By the first week in July, I will have 4 free nights. We are planning to use them for a weekend in Washington D.C. over the summer. The room at the hotel is a category 6 and the price per room if I used cash would be over $410 per room. I stayed at hotels which averaged for the 2 nights $287 for the 2 stays so were are ahead of the game.

That is what I have earned this year, and this is what I have booked 5 first class tickets for trips through May of 2010 worth over $7100.

I hope you are all earning miles or points so you can Fly for FREE.
