Walking Across America with Points: An Introduction
May 2, 2019
We've got a special treat for you today, MileValue readers! Meet Mike Hammari, who will be writing a series of guest posts about a cross-country trip he is currently in the middle of. Who needs miles when you've got feet? Those weary feet still need a decent place to rest. Mike is covering some of his hotel stays with points and is excited to have an audience listening that cares more about rewards than what brand of shoe he's wearing. Really though, Mike, tell us what shoes you chose...

Confessions of Delinquent Miles & Points Collectors: Part I
February 1, 2019
At the end of December, I sent out a request for reader contributions. I want to thank everyone who reached out to me in January with their ideas and stories. Your enthusiasm is inspiring! I am happy to say that I got enough of a response that I plan on publishing plenty of reader experiences in the future.
Invitation for Reader Contributions
December 28, 2018
Hey guys! I would like to incorporate more of your experiences using travel rewards into MileValue's blog content.
My idea is to feature roughly one reader per month who wants to share their experience collecting or redeeming travel rewards--or even better--their experience on the flight or in the vacation destination that their miles got them to.
Lofoten, Norway lies above the Arctic circle and is the dreamiest destination I've ever seen.
