Just download a toolbar (I’d recommend doing it on a different browser than the one you normally use). Log in to your Virgin account, go here, click Shop Now, click Mile Finder on the top menu, and you’ll see the offer. Shouldn’t take more than a couple minutes.
One-Way Florida Rental Deals
It’s that special time of year when taking a car out of Florida is dirt cheap. And, as we know, one-way car rentals are rarely affordable. Let alone the dirt variety of cheap. But look at these crazy prices…
- Alamo – $9.95/day
- Avis – $9.95/day
- Enterprise – $9.95/day
- Hertz – $9.95/day
Are you seeing the pattern here? And now for my personal favorite…
National – $9.95/day
Daily Getaways – Good For Some
For people who play credit card or manufactured spending games, this probably isn’t for you. But for those who don’t like risk and need ways to travel cheaper…Daily Getaways is back.
Click on the calendar and check out each day’s opportunity. Today’s $50 Alamo certificate for 25 bucks is a pretty good one…I’d say Hyatt points in Week 3 for just over a penny is the best. Check ’em all out and see what works best for your situation. As always, a few of these will sell out in a hurry.
Free United Miles For Flying?
A bunch of you “qualified” for up to 25,000 bonus United miles. And by qualified, I mean, you put in your MileagePlus number and luckily it worked. Give it a shot here.
Also, thanks Adam for passing along the better offer from Ritz Carlton (2 free nights).
Thursday Roundup
- It’s everyone’s happiest time of year….tax season! A couple of the best options for paying taxes with credit cards are:
- A few of you have emailed lately about the (underrated) Amtrak card disappearing. I’ve been told it will return soon. Of course, as soon as that happens, I’ll post the link here.
- 1,000 miles from a new program, Copa Airlines. Who’s rich enough to turn down free miles? Not me.
- I really do appreciate everything you guys send. But, as this is a blog on earning mile/points, I don’t post many paid flight deals. I’ve said it often, but everyone should subscribe to The Flight Deal. They are by far the best source for discount and mistake fares. I know…I say it a lot.
- Some of you shared increased American Express card offers:
- A few got 60,000-points on the Amex Platinum from CardMatch. A couple others were lucky enough to get 100,000 points there.
- A great tip from reader Jon. He said the Amex Platinum Business card offer of 100,000 points is still alive. He called in yesterday and got it on his second try. As always, call 1-800-971-6736. Mention an offer you received in recent months for 100,000 points with a $10,000 spend.
