I've started the serious business of trying to get as many travel miles as possible while spending as little travel-related cash as possible. I took another look at the Alaska Airlines credit card deal, and they want $45 or $75 (premium card) for a year. I think I'll wait a bit to see what Chris has up his sleeve ... I know he's talked in the past about deals with lots of miles and a fee-free card (sometimes for just a year - but I have a calendar so I can make sure I cancel the card when a year is up). There's also all kinds of promotions to look in to.
I've dug out all my old travel numbers from years past (when I traveled a lot), and now need to check whether they're still all active and relevant; I have Air Canada, Alaska Airlines, American Airlines, Avis, Budget, Delta Airlines, Hertz, Hyatt Hotels, Marriott Hotels, Ramada Hotels, United Airlines, and US Airways to check in to.....
