My Other Websites

I’ve intentionally only posted about my “real life” here once. Still, it does find a way to come up from time to time. A few readers recognized me on Grey’s Anatomy a few weeks ago and emailed, asking why I didn’t write about it here. My answer? Because this is a mile and points blog, not a blog about my life. That being said, it’s also a blog with the intention of helping people. A conversation came up yesterday with a few MileNerd friends and I decided to also post it here.

My website has been redone at RohitRealty.com. A big advantage for people in Los Angeles is you will now be able to search the MLS for properties and won’t be limited to the crappy free options. For those outside of LA, I’ve been working on a new project for months. I see people screwed by bad agents and brokers every week, so I came up with a solution – BestLocalRealty.com. The goal is very simple – to find people a top real estate agent in their local market and save some headaches. Again, I appreciate every referral, and my team and I love having the opportunity to help you. Back to miles on Monday!

That AwardWallet OneCard Thing

That’s exactly what I thought the day I got it in the mail – “Meh, who cares about this AwardWallet OneCard thing?” Obviously, the big majority of you already have an AwardWallet account and know how hugely helpful it is. When you log-in and scroll down on the left side, you probably see an offer for a free OneCard when you upgrade for $10. I didn’t think anything of it originally, but I have to admit, I use this damn thing pretty much every week. Having all airline phone numbers and account numbers in my wallet has been really convenient. If you don’t have one of these yet, it’s definitely worth getting.

Virgin America Trying To Matter

Virgin America gets overlooked all the time. They have a weird mileage program,  don’t fly to many places, and never have amazing credit card offers. But this week has been a little different. They’ve decided they will match status you have with United, American, or Southwest (including those with a Southwest Companion Pass). Virgin also continues to have some great sales on fares. Maybe they’re trying to compete with the big boys. Or maybe it was just a good week.

Searching For Fares

This is something I just assumed I had mentioned before. But upon further review, it seems I’ve had an extended brain fart. ITA Matrix is the best website for searching for the lowest fares. Period. The people who use it (like me) are extremely loyal to it. If you don’t use it yet, get with the program. MileNerd out.

Quadruple JetBlue Points

As much as we hate to do it, sometimes we do pay for flights (usually domestic). If you need to pay, you might as well earn tons of bonus points. Get 4 times the JetBlue points if you book by April 10. This offer was just extended and it’s pretty damn good.
