Check That Email

Got a message from British Airways to opt-in to their communication emails and it earned me a very easy 2,000 points. I pick up a few thousand miles every year just from receiving “junk” mail like this. If you don’t like all the spam, set up a different email account. Don’t have time to read those letters and emails? A while back, lots of people threw out their United Months of Miles postcard too. That little postcard ended up making me 250,000 miles. Just sayin’.

Suntrust Debit Card Open To All

True, Delta SkyMiles aren’t the greatest in the world. But, really, what do we care? It’s free travel and we’re addicted. The Suntrust is better than most other debit cards because you get 1 mile per dollar spent. It’s no longer limited to the same handful of states. With Vanilla Reload cards/prepaid/Bluebird, it’s easy for people these days to spend lots of money and earn tons of miles.

Win A Systemwide Upgrade

A loyal MileNerd reader named TJ has started his own blog. He’s giving away an American Airlines Systemwide Upgrade (SWU) for February. He’s a new blogger, so the odds are pretty decent that you could win an upgrade for your flight. Get all the information and check out his blog here.
