The value of shopping portals – not just points but cash & big discounts!
My Lisa wears contact lenses for astigmatism. When she went this spring for her yearly routine eye exam the bill at the end of it was outrageous at nearly $300 with no replacement contacts, no new glasses, just the eye exam. When she questioned it she was told the exam was “coded” as a medical exam and that’s why it cost more (grrr – sounds familiar). The reason for the medical exam was there … Continue reading
Be happy you are NOT a Medallion or have a Delta AMEX card!
Those who do not read the blog and learn how to redeem Skymiles at low level, can spend a TON of points to get a seat. But wait. Just what would it cost me to buy a ticket to fly from the NYC area to LAX? in coach? A layman may say that the cost for the ticket is almost $400 so the redemption at 1 cent per mile is not all that bad. We … Continue reading

Will Skymall 25,000 Skymiles deal be back this year?
December 1st last year was a fun and crazy time for the young Delta Points blog. The first day of the blog I had a few hundred visits. Then, Delta Points was announced as the official outlet for the launch and information regarding the promotion of the 25,000 Skymiles deal for spending $500 at Skymall. That day the views of the blog almost hit 10,000! To say there was interest in the little promotion does … Continue reading
How to entertain yourself on a 48hr mileage run!?! Go on a points field trip!
So as you read this, I am just about done with this round of mileage run! I have flown twice coast-to-coast and have been bumped once in LAX, scored one of my only upgrade due to this, and now have an ETV to pay for my repositioning flight for my LAST MR of the year.

60,000 Skymiles & a Skymiles shopping toolbar – NOPE!
The Skymiles shopping portal is having a 5×60,000 Skymiles giveaway. I did enter ONCE by just putting in my Skymiles number and you can too HERE. However, I did NOT download and install the shopping toolbar for “10 Extra” chances to win or the other little tasks, as you can see in the photo clip above, for extra chances to win. Why not? Both Gary, from a View from the Wing, and myself, were interviewed … Continue reading
Question: Are you forgetting about 6x points from Skymall?
(above deal from DEC2011) Oh we all fondly remember the 25,000 point Skymall deal from last December. We all, refreshingly I might add, found out just how great Skymall customer service was and is. From price match to help on getting points posted, their folks were there for us and made sure we were happy when all was said and done. But that begs the question, do we reward this by continuing to check them … Continue reading
Skymiles shopping 500-5000 points, now you have my attention (well a little bit anyway)
One of my fellow BA bloggers “New Girl in the Air“, and a reader via email (thank you), talked about the 250 bonus skymiles if you spend $250 at their shopping portal by 25AUG2012 – YAWN! But then today I login and see they are offering 500 bonus (notice additional) Skymiles if you spend $250! If you find something resalable at breakeven btw you can max out at 5000 bonus miles. And, on top of … Continue reading
I now earn Skymiles paying utility bills. Do you? What is next?
All it takes is a spark. A tiny one. Those of us who have the sickness are like a bonfire just waiting for a match to strike. I hope as you read the blog I make you think now and then; “Wait, what? I can do what and get how many points?” I blogged a few weeks back (and Sunday as well) about how great the OPEN program is from AMEX. If you do not … Continue reading
While the “cats” away the mice will play!
The Frequent Miler is “way up north dar” in Alaska. Sweet! Back here in SBN what did I do today? Well I collected free points and free stuff naturally with a FM feel to them. Here is what I do not just this Sunday but every Sunday. I check out what 100% or almost 100% MaxPerks Rewards rebate items are up for sale this week. These deals are just unreal. You get many times 90-100% … Continue reading
$20 AMEX & Best Buy / Twitter deal with a nice payback
There are a few steps to this but it may be worth your time. Take a look at this HERE. From all reports, you can buy a $200 BestBuy gift card and get the $20 credit! Now you should read this post about earning EXTRA points from BestBuy HERE. In this case, I would NOT use the Skymiles shopping portal as they forbid the purchase of gift cards to get points. What I have found … Continue reading

Are airlines points becoming “Company Scrip” or are they already?
A bit before any of us, or anyone for that matter, were flying airplanes and collecting points there was a form of currency called Company Scrip. There was generally a company store, the only place where one could redeem the “money” printed by the company for merchandise. There is so much dirty about this, but the basic gist is that the company decides what things cost and what you can buy and when you got … Continue reading
