Activity online slows way down in the weekend! So this will be one of the shortest posts since we started blogging! We do not do filler posts like other bloggers.
On a personal note, my leg is not healing as fast as I thought! I did my annual bell ringing gig for my local Rotary Club on behalf of the Salvation Army yesterday. We have a choice of location. I chose my favorite Walgreens and got Vanilla ice cream of course, yes! After that, I let my son drive me around for a hour as part of his driving permit requirements. I survived! He actually did quite well, I am proud of him!
READER QUESTION: “How many miles/points do you have?”
Presently, close to 4 million. I wish I had time to burn more but with my new blogging thing I am just not seeing it. I may start giving them away to clients when they hit a 10 yr anniversary with me.
BEST OF
Using Miles has one of the BEST Award Tables ever! So so nice to see all regions with best airline in ONE chart, Bravo! Actually, it is a guest post by Jimmy from TravelbyPoints. Very well done Sir!
Kathy at Will Run for Miles has a nice post with some excellent questions and would like your help. Or you can read my expert answer there (number 3). I also would like some answers on them too! One thing about this hobby is that there is ALWAYS so much to know. I feel like I know a lot since I have been goofing around with miles and points for so many years…BUT it is common to sometimes feel like an idiot simply because there IS SO MUCH to know and this stuff is ALWAYS changing…FAST! It is like the search for the Holy Grail…it never stops!
After this Legal Nomads blog post I really want to go to Vietnam and eat some of this food! I probably would stay at the Park Hyatt Saigon using up some of the gazillion points I can transfer from Chase Ultimate rewards…naturally:-)
A very inspiring post, wow! The Philosophy of a Traveler
NOT SO BEST OF
What is going on Million Mile Secrets, Points Envy and Mr. Pickles? Was that just a teaser Points Envy post about the new “Billion Mile Secrets” weekly feature on the MMS site? Why was it taken down? Are you still negotiating the “compensation”? Did you have a falling out? If you did, how in the heck did all of you had a falling in the first place? Millions of readers’ inquiring minds want to know! TBB has a copy of the post and we laugh reading it, it is brilliant as usual! If I were PE, I will demand a 5% cut on all MMS aff revenue coming in. Hey MMS, if PE refuses we will do it for just 1%….we need some freaking revenue in this blog and we do not want to sell our souls to Flex Offers and gang, hint:-) In the meantime, we are working on the Trillion Mile Secrets, Gazillion Mile Secrets and Mile Secrets to Infinity and Beyond, so…There! Why are you in the notorious “Not so Best of” category? Well, I had nothing else to enter here and I thought it would be a riot to have you here. Whatsyagonna do, sue me?
Oh wait, got an oldie but goodie here! Man in Apparent Romney Mask Robs Bank in West Virginia Mega lol!!

Post the column by Points Envy!
Well, the Points Envy column is out. It looks a bit different than the original I think. I need to spend some time comparing the two. Suddenly, with Points Envy selling out, the PE columns are not as funny anymore. I am very curious to know what the payoff was!!
Will definitely rant about this today on my blog….It just feels, well, like a sellout. I absolutely despise sell outs. PE was so original, so refreshing…Not so anymore, BOO!
Maybe I need to step up and fill a void that Points Envy has left…and start my own blog….it is indeed a sad day for all. We can’t let PE get away with it.
Thanks for the mention, George! Glad you found the table useful.
