Another Reason Miles Are Better than Cash: Free Cancellations
January 6, 2015
Using miles to book trips instead of using cash has tons of advantages:
Easier access to First Class and flat beds: An international First Class ticket can cost $10k or the amount of miles you can get from opening a pair of credit cards.
Better open jaw and stopover rules: Few revenue tickets allow you to stopover without increasing in price.

Free First Class 2014: Basics of Southwest, JetBlue, and Virgin America Points
August 12, 2014
This is the nineteenth 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.
I've covered how to earn miles and the redemption options for miles.
750 Free Southwest Rapid Rewards for 20 Seconds of Work
July 7, 2014
Three weeks ago I got an email from AirTran A+ Rewards with the subject "Get 750 Rapid Rewards Bonus Points."
The email explains that Rapid Rewards and A+ Rewards, Southwest's and AirTran's loyalty programs will merge on November 2, 2014. (Southwest acquired AirTran in May 2011.)
If you verify your A+ and Rapid Rewards accounts to make that combination easier on the airline, you can get a quick 750 Rapid Rewards, worth about $11 in free flights.

Airlines are Responding to Bank, Accounting, and Consultant Pressures by Opening Up More Award Space
May 14, 2014
According to the Wall Street Journal, airlines are opening up more award space this year compared to last year because of pressure from banks, accounting rules, and consultant studies.
In the short term, that's good for us. More award space: woohoo!
But in the long run, these pressures could cause more airlines to move to revenue-based frequent flyer programs. Revenue-based redemptions: boohoo!
Every year IdeaWorks comes out with one of the worst-conceived studies imaginable in an attempt to quantify which frequent flyer programs make redemptions the easiest.
