Investing In Miles

My posts tend to be tailored to anyone regardless of net worth. But I’ve gotten quite a few questions about what to do with investments recently. Specifically, how to earn miles with a good-sized pile of cash. The short answer…

As always, Fidelity offers up to 50,000 miles for investors – United, American, and/or Delta. As far as banks go, BankDirect offers American miles for checking accounts. You get 100 miles per month for every $1,000 in your account. The negatives? This is only up to the first $50,000. Plus, there’s a $12 fee each month. With the limit and fee, it’s a good offer where there used to be a great one.

Quick Clicks

I’ve been told the free AwardWallet codes I post are disappearing in a hurry. Some of you guys have gotten frustrated. Honestly, I’m a part of the problem on this one. If I had comments set up here, it would be an easier system for all. Unfortunately, that’s not going to happen. So what I’d like to do is try to help in a different way. I’ve hoarded some codes and will continue to put a few more aside as they come in. If you’re missing out, just let me know and I’ll try to get one to you as soon as I can. Sorry about the trouble with this!

Current Contests

I post these contests less than ever before, but still do it every so often. Today is one of those rare occasions. If you’re in a gambling mood…

  • A huge 250,000 points from Starwood is possible.
  • Win 5 nights in New York from Virgin America here.
  • How about a trip to Kenya here?
  • Belize isn’t bad, either.
  • Maybe $4,000 towards a dream trip?
  • Or an incredible golf vacation from United?
  • I wouldn’t mind this $5,000 Visa gift card.

Not That Upset About Amazon

Amazon Payments is on the way out. As of October 13th, there will be no more sending $1,000 to your buddy. If you have helpful family members, you’ve probably had access to a few of these accounts. Well, you should still send your payments for September and October. Then what? I’d suggest moving on. This is far from a huge deal. We’ve had access to Amazon Payments for years now. Deals die. This was far from the biggest. Next…

Miles To Eat

Delta’s 2,500 miles for a first dine got extended for the next 10 days. In spite of my strong feelings of blah towards Delta, this is a strong deal. Of course, 2,000 miles from American or US Air are probably better.
