I confess that I am a bit of a maniac when it comes to frequent flyer miles. I take advantage of deals that award miles because I have found that I have been able to earn several free trips off of these. I have traveled to Europe and Canada with free flights and hotels. My last free trip was this last summer to Canada. I flew Delta, and since I booked the flight only a few weeks before departure, all of the 25,000 mile awards were unavailable, so I had to spend 40,000 miles to get the award. Since Delta is not my preferred airline, only 3,438 of those miles were miles I flew. All of the rest were miles awarded for car rentals, shopping online, etc.
American Airlines and BOSE are teaming up to award 150 AAdvantage miles to all AAdvantage members (membership is free) just by watching this video and then entering your information in at the end. This gets you 150 miles closer to your free trip! If you purchase the BOSE product, you'll earn another 400 miles.
