Thanks to previous announcements by American Airlines we knew some changes were coming to the AAdvantage program such as a new Platinum Pro level between Executive Platinum and Platinum. We also knew the program would introduce a minimum spend requirement to reach sta...

As you know by now, the majority of miles earned are not through flying.
What you may not know is that you can earn miles at no cost.
I know.
Most ways to earn miles do have some sort of cost associated with them, whether it be the cost of the flight you choose or the opp...

Several people I talk to about credit cards have a Southwest credit card only because they like flying Southwest (something I discussed here) or an American Airlines card because they fly American, and so on.
While this is hardly the worst credit card strategy to have,...

Previously I've touched on which credit cards to use for generic broad categories but I know a lot of people don't want to take the time to go search for that post, so now I'm going to hone in on something more specific, and arguably most important on this planet......

About AJ
Founder of MM
I'm fortunate to have been traveling all my life, but a few years ago my hobby became a true passion. It was not only the actual act of going new places, but the allure of finding ways to do it in style.
Now, there are loads of travel blogs out there. I give a lot of them credit for helping develop my hobby into my passion, but they are generally focused on the upper-echelon levels of travel, most of which are hard to attain for those of us that do not travel regularly for work or other reasons.
My main focus will be for the infrequent traveler, those of us that scrape by to get lower-level status if we're lucky.
I want to share my world and my strategies, and hopefully it will bring you some joy and luxury.
Make sure you keep reading and sharing with your friends.

Let the mayhem begin!
