I felt guilty all day for doing the monthly pump post so I decided to reproduce here the worksheet showing how I burned over 1 million miles/points in 2014. This is the the first time I kept track of my burning activity! My travel has slowed down as business/blogging activities have increased and that is okay, I pick my spots these days. I promise to do better, I am almost done booking a family trip to Greece in…June. (gasp!)
I think earning 1 million miles and points a year is so easy even a caveman can do it…Burning is a whole different matter when you have two kids, real jobs with vacations, etc.
This may help someone understand the mindset of a person inflicted with this disease 🙂 If I had direct affiliate credit card links this could have been a sea of blue if I was a Titan 🙂
Wishing you burn lots in 2015!

I would like to know more about earning 1 million miles in a year
Color me impressed. I’m with Kadence. I’ve only been in this about a year, but I’m still blown away that people can ‘easily’ rack up that many miles. Well done!! I’ll just keep following along!
Kadence and Anna: I don’t want to turn my blog into a “look at me, I earn so many miles and you can too,click on my credit cards!”. There are so ooo many of them out there and I really like to keep things somewhat on the original side as much as I can around here.
If you have good credit, are very organized, and develop a system in applying/using credit cards and you have a spouse too it is not too difficult to hit that number. Of course doing some Manufactured Spend also really can help too.But that requires time and “friendly” establishments nearby. At the very very least the MS can be done pronto to satisfy all minimum spend requirements to hit the signing bonuses.
Thinking about doing a series on earning or taking a reader from ground zero to…enlightenment. I have so much I want to to but no time to do them, I can’t even get to the recent trip report posts I would like to do. Darn Feedly blog posts never stop. Got me a nice niche as there is always content to talk about & critique but the time spent on picking what shows up here does not leave time to do more of these posts.
Thanks for the feedback, greatly appreciated!
And don’t connect the AA and US Air accounts yet, wait for some possible miles to get us to do that, no rush!
Hey Thanks! Don’t worry, I don’t expect you to turn all ‘look at me’ on us! I read your blog as a respite from the snake oil salesmen (who I also read) and to discover new and original content about all aspects of travel.
I’m very detail oriented, have a spouse, and have gotten a good hang of it, but I can’t seem to justify the mental energy MS takes except for hitting spends. We also lack unlimited vacation time, so we’re probably good at the level were working at now.
I’ve waited in merging US/AA, will continue! Thanks again and keep it up!
If you are good at the level you are now don’t sweat it. I do the MS when I get too stressed, it is great for stress relief. I wish I had more time but I prefer to beat myself up here making other blog threaten me with lawsuits. But I must love it or I am just insane 🙂
Inspiring! Hoping to hit that number in 2015. At about 600k so far…
I would do better if this TBB dude was out of this blogging “business” 🙂
