August 2010 Miles, Points, And Deals Roundup (129,913)

Here we are, at the end of another month!  I’m still on my quest to get as many award miles as possible, without flying.  I have done a small bit of business flying since my last Miles, Points, and Deals Roundup, but it was only about 2,000 miles.  As you can see, I’ve gone up about 40,000 miles since last month.  this is mainly from my AAdvantage miles coming through.  How are you doing, racking up the miles and getting deals?  Let me know!

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!
