The Internet’s Biggest Travel Nerd Shares Pointers on Points

This is how the blog started – the passion for sharing subtle printing?

When I lived in Washington, DC in 2002, I knew that a bunch of people were starting political blogs, but I didn’t think I had something unique to me that no one was saying in this place. I thought, what do people ask me about? So I just started writing tips for travel. In a weekend in May I set up a free account at Blogspot.com and you know, 30 people are reading it and then 500 and then started writing 1000. Last month, June, blog traffic was reduced to 5.5 million visitors, but in March it was up to 7.5 million.

Just then, let’s talk. Each point system seems a bit different than the end. What is hard to know, tell me, when a given loyalty program comes, 100,000 miles are really valuable. What is your method?

So, I have a close idea about the value of each currency. For example, I priced at a Maryot point at 65 basic points, and a Hilton Point of about 40 or 45, which I think IHG Point is valuable, where I priced at a Hyatt Point 1.4 cent, which I am American and a United Mile Price. I’m almost a penny, a Virgin mile is worth a Delta mile in about one percent.

Using these metrics as a thumb rule, how do you earn the maximum of your miles?

If you want to think about the price of miles as a private currency. There is no central bank, and it is subject to the paid price level. The easiest model for this is the same analysis that you will do with inflation for the government-zeri currency. Take the general currency formula, the MV equal to the pike. The amount of velocity during the economy, or the speed at which it has been spent, is the amount, amount, the amount of the product in the economy and the level of P, the level of the price, isn’t it?

Yes, okay. I knew

The price is affected by the amount of seats in the planes. Airlines they do not say that the capacity is discipline and not flying flights that are not sold. They are printing much more miles than getting rid of a certain year and there are many other ways to earn miles.

How can a newcomer start?

Don’t leave miles on the table. Sign up for programs. Track your points. I use Reward walletBut if you want to do it, keep an eye on your accounts. Take your account number and go through the shopping portal when you are buying something online. Maximum this by comparing the portals, whether it be something like a savwiz or a cashback monitor.

You hear like someone who knows their way around Microsoft Excel like a good point hacker.

I don’t really use spreadsheets. I really have very good memories and I have been paying attention to these stuff for about 30 years.
