July 2010 – Miles, Points, and Deals Roundup (89,842) Posted on: 30/07/10 Category: Travel

This is the part of the show where I will be rounding up some great opportunities to earn frequent flyer miles, hotel points, and other various deals that can be used to lessen (if not eradicate) the cost of travel.  I will also be posting my progress in obtaining miles without flying.  The number you see in the post title is the number of miles/points I’ve accumulated.

Disclaimer:  I do not condone debt.  I sign up for credit card offers solely for the miles – not for the use of the credit card.  I will always try to include deals that do not involve using credit, and if you are in debt, I highly suggest you stay away from credit card offers.  I am also not affiliated with any of the offers below.  I am simply sharing them (with no affiliate links).

I will be posting five active deals from each category: frequent flyer miles, hotel points, and rental car points.  These offers are current right now, so there’s a high chance that if you don’t keep up with this blog often, the offers will be expired.  However, I will be posting a point roundup at the end of every month, so if you’ve missed out on these offers, be sure to check back next month for more!
