100% Bonus When Buying Flying Blue Miles:  Buying miles is a strategic way to spend less on a flight, or just a way to top off your balance.  Waiting for discounts or bonuses is the ideal way to purchase points and currently Flying Blue has a sale that may interest you.

Using Dining Credits Without Dining:  The Amex Gold has offered a $10 monthly dining credit for a few years.  Taking advantage of these credits helps to offset the annual fee.  It can be difficult to use them though, so this trick may be of some help to you.

Is The Maldives Worth It?:  Depending on who you ask, you’ll get a variety of answers.  However, if you like beach vacations, island vibes, etc, here’s a good article to check out.  It’ll provide the good and bad about visiting the Maldives to help you decide whether you should go or not.

Get A Points Boost While Shopping:  Online shopping portals are a great way to earn more points for shopping you planned to do anyway.  For a limited time you can earn up to 20 Membership Rewards points per dollar at select stores online.

Practical Sweet Spots:  Sweet spots area great because you get immense value out of your points.  It takes less points for certain award flights with sweet spots.  Some are more useful than others though.  Here are some that are considered to be more useful.

Best Loyalty Programs:  Which programs are considered to be the best travel loyalty programs?  There’s a lot of variables that go into making that decision, but the recent Freddie Awards help shed light on what makes these loyalty programs special.
