This blog is devoted to creative ways to save and earn money. Why do I focus on earning miles, which seems to be something for hobbyists or collectors? Isn't mileage collecting only for people that constantly fly and like flying first class, and not for most people?Well, in short, the answer is that miles are valuable for (almost) everyone, even for regular people. The exact value of miles

Be it a 30,000 mile signup bonus that can save you a few hundred dollars next time you travel, setting up a free worldwide phone service or making sure to use a credit card that rewards you and protects you from all different issues that can come up with purchases.Keeping on top of things like

I guess times are changing, which is good news.Over the past two years, Amex has been slashing lots of peoples credit lines, and even canceling cards as well. Although my credit line was never touched, I was always a bit worried.Well, what do you know, I just got an email from American Express that my credit line has been increased by $2,500. I don't know if it's a widespread phenomenon, but it

I collect miles. Lots of them. I started using AwardWallet.com to help me keep track of all those miles.Collecting miles in a range of programs is great. You can take advantage of amazing promotions and signup bonuses, and when it comes time to redeem those points, you have lots of options. For instance, if one airline doesn't have availability for the dates you want to travel, you can use points

Whether you ship something a few times a day or a few times a year, knowing your options makes all the difference.A while back, I put together a Shipping Guide, which goes through all the steps on how to ship things easily. I recently came across a new method of lowering shipping prices and want to share it.One of the main ways to ship is through UPS. Anybody can sign up for a UPS account, even

If you have a Citi checking account, be aware that starting Feb 1st 2010, the monthly fee will no longer be waived, even if you have direct deposits or two monthly bill payments.Unless you have $1,500 in the account, you will be charged the monthly fee of $7.50 - $9.50.If you currently bank with Citi and keep less than $1,500 in the account, you should probably switch to Chase, and earn some cash

You see a 'deal' on a deal site and wonder "is it really such a great deal?" Don't forget, most sites make money off the deals you buy when you click through their site.

I will probably use them for American Airlines flights within America to avoid the hefty taxes and fees when flying with British Airways. That was one great signup bonus.

After applying for the Chase Business Checking account, you might want to apply for a Chase Business Credit Card to keep the checking account free.Chase usually only allows you to earn each credit card signup bonus only once. So if you already received the signup bonuses for the more common Chase business credit cards, like Continental and United, you should look for anther card.I came across the

The new link clearly says that it's for new Citi cardmembers only.Citi AA offers went down to 25,000 miles from 30,000. Also, first year isn't free anymore.There still is an active link for the Visa Cards which shows 30,000 miles and first year free. So, if you decide to apply for a Citi AA

Lots of people are reporting that Citi has been declining new Citi AA applications to people who have had a card during the last year (or maybe even earlier).If true, that would mean the end of a fun and very rewarding game. I still have some time till I plan on applying again, and I'll let you know if I try to apply.Did you apply and get declined for a card? Let us know.
