500 Air Canada Miles

I posted Monday about how you can get 500 Delta Skymiles. If you prefer, you can pick up 500 Air Canada (Aeroplan) miles the same way here.

Another US Airways Credit Card

I constantly blabber about how much I love the US Airways credit card. An easy 40,000 miles after first use, you can “churn” it over and over, etc. 

But if you’re looking for another way to grab some US Airways miles, there’s also a Business version of the card here. Let me know your results with this one so I can report on possible churning of both cards.

New Name

People often ask why I started this blog. To be honest, it was because I got so tired of sending emails to my loved ones. I know that sounds bad, but it seemed like I was spending an hour a day sending them miles and points updates. So basically, I started this blog to save time.

Now, over a year later, I spend way longer than an hour each day on this hobby/obsession. And, somehow, thousands of you have found your way here and have become loyal readers. I now spend a big chunk of my day on research and responding to emails. Why do I do it? Considering I make about 2 cents an hour from my ads, this definitely isn’t paying any bills. But I really do enjoy keeping this blog updated 5 days a week and gaining so many new fans. I just enjoy doing it.

With the growing popularity (and after listening to feedback), I’ve decided to make a name change. It takes too long to tell people a blog address of mileagesaver.blogspot.com. So, as of today, I have a much simpler location at MileNerd.com. Hope you all like the new name. Thanks for your support!
