Mile Nerd

Looks like there’s a way to get a dollar off per Uber ride for iPhone users. Haven’t tried it myself yet so I’m not sure if there’s a limit to how often it works. Please let me know any feedback and I’ll edit this post. Thanks!

Nerds with Inks continue to enjoy 2017…

Buy $300 (or more) in Visa gift cards in-store at Staples this week and get $15 back. As always, this works best when buying two $200 cards. And, yes, there’s a decent chance I’ll be the cranky old guy at my store mumbling about how this is normally a $20 deal.

JetBlue deserves some credit. As their competition keeps dropping the ball, devaluing points, and taking away benefits…these guys continue to keep loyalty in their loyalty program. Take a second to register here and you’ll get 15% of your points back on award travel through July 31st. As always, you’ll also get 10% back if you have a JetBlue Plus credit card.

Note: I got all of the emails yesterday. Haven’t read them and haven’t passed them on yet. But don’t be surprised if you get a hypothetical invite in the upcoming months.

Have a great weekend, nerds!

Let’s say in an imaginary world, the following hypothetical situation happened…

What if a loyal and trusted reader wanted to put together a group where people could buy, sell, and trade miles/points with each other? Of course there would be no charge to join. Would you be interested in being part of a group like that?

Note: I’m well aware that this isn’t allowed within the rules of miles and points programs. It’s a hypothetical question in an imaginary world.

Because of the response size, please use the email address below to answer the question. It would help to add the subject “Hypothetical Barter Group.”

Reminder: Only send emails to that address when it’s specifically mentioned (like in this case). It isn’t the normal inbox and doesn’t get checked regularly.
