50 new codes at 7:20 PM ET

I’m going to give away 75 six-month upgrade codes to Award Wallet Plus today.

I use Award Wallet to track all my airline mile, hotel point, and credit card point balances; my loyalty program passwords; and any extras (like companion passes and free night certificates) in one place.

The biggest mistake in the miles game is collecting the wrong miles for the job.

That's why I always advocate that people start at their end goal and work backwards. Figure out your dream trip and then figure out the best miles and points to collect for that trip.

This is the second post in a monthlong series that started here. Each post will take about two minutes to read and may include an action item that takes the reader another two minutes to complete. 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.

In just a few days, you’ll be earning hundreds of thousands of frequent flyer miles, and you need a place to put and track them.
