I am writing this for an audience of people who know nothing about frequent flyer miles, and my goal is that by the end, you know enough to fly for free anywhere you want to go.

I’ve covered how to earn miles and the redemption options for miles.

Last year I wrote "How to Book Multiple Awards from Different Accounts on the Same Flights."

The idea is that you can never transfer miles from one airline to another, even if they are airline partners, but you can book two seats on the exact same flights with two different types of miles.

Last week I used 30,000 Singapore miles and 35,000 Lufthansa miles to book myself and a friend one way First Class flights on United from Honolulu to San Francisco.

Should you buy Citi ThankYou Points for 2.5 cents each?

To Suzanne Rubin, head of American Airlines AAdvantage,

In April 2014, American Airlines eliminated the possibility of stopovers on award tickets with no notice.

Previously, one stopover was allowed on one way awards--two on roundtrip awards--at the North American International Gateway City.

Here are the United Club locations to check whether you’ll be able to use a pass on your next trip.

If you can use the passes by December 31, 2015, there are two ways to enter to win them!

Barclaycard is really going all out to get people to get this card, keep this card, and use this card, and Joanna's email is another example.

Hurricanes Iselle and Julio are scheduled to hit Hawaii in the next few days.
