Update: The response has been overwhelming. The slots are all gone. In fact, I have the sad task of having to email some folks now and say they weren’t in the first 30.
I’m very excited to announce the first MileValue dinner since February on Saturday, October 19 at 8 PM in Los Angeles. (Cut me some slack–I haven’t been in the US since February.)
Like past MileValue dinners, this one will be:
- Free, other than the cost of your meal.
- Split checks, so we can all show off our credit cards.
- Entrees around $14.
- Limited to 30 people.
- In the 90006 zip code at a delicious Mexican restaurant.
- Open to people of all miles-knowledge levels.
- Informational. There will be no prepared remarks, but I’ll answer all the questions that you may have about earning and redeeming miles or my recent travels.
- Possibly full of secret info people won’t post online (and no, I won’t email it to people who can’t attend).
- Social, a great chance to meet other people in this hobby in the Southern California area and talk travel.
Unlike past MileValue dinners, I’ve lined up some other awesome bloggers for the dinner:
- Tahsir AKA the Bengali Miles Guru from the MileValue Award Booking Service
- Kiersten AKA The Blonde Abroad
- Jamison from Points Summary on First2Board
If you want to join the fun, there is only one way to RSVP:
Email me.
Selfishly, I am limiting this event to 30 folks on a first come, first serve basis, so that I have a chance to meet everyone. Once you email me, I’ll get back to in a few days with the restaurant details.
I’m looking forward to seeing many familiar and new faces at the dinner. Remember there is only one way to RSVP for the dinner in Los Angeles at 8 PM on October 19: by emailing me.
If you don’t live in Los Angeles, hopefully I’ll see you next weekend at the Chicago Seminars!
Where should I host MileValue dinners in the future?
Just getting started in the world of points and miles? The Chase Sapphire Preferred is the best card for you to start with.
With a bonus of 60,000 points after $4,000 spend in the first 3 months, 5x points on travel booked through the Chase Travel Portal and 3x points on restaurants, streaming services, and online groceries (excluding Target, Walmart, and wholesale clubs), this card truly cannot be beat for getting started!

NYC plz. 🙂
I second NYC!!
Look out for one in NYC in mid-February 🙂
Yes, nyc please!
Boston!
That would be fun!
Right? And then you could take the very cheap BOS-DUB flight using Avios! Double win 🙂
I’m interested and would greatly appreciate the invite and restaurant details. Thank you.
As the post says, you RSVP by emailing me, and then I give more information on the restaurant, which is in the 90006 zip code.
Yes, BOSTON! … or NYC since it’s an easy three hour drive that I would totally make for something like this! Plus you’ll get Philly and possibly D.C. folks. 🙂
Austin in the Fall has great weather and great music, and therefore would be a great location for a dinner.
I love Austin! That’s a good idea.
This should be awesome. Hoping my email was one of the first 30. Quick Q, I’m soon to book a US 90k USair award. When I call in and feed them the flights for two tickets from LAX>IAH>IST stopover to weeks > PEK destination> LAX, can they readily book the award with my account and fiancees account if she’s on the line with me since we have our own accounts? The prospect of having to call twice is a bit frightening lol
Yes. Try to explain the situation before you start giving them the segments.
Tampa.. after all I owe you dinner and you can visit family. See you soon !!!!
How about Grapevine, Texas – just outside the north entrance to DFW Airport?
Everyone can come on their layovers.
How about you pick a southern location! Like Atlanta, New Orleans, Memphis, Or Nashville!
Would Greensboro do?
I’m pretty much only in the US in March, April, and May… it would be great if you were in the east bay area at that time.
St. Louis!
