People always ask me how do I have so many miles. Well the answer is really simple. First of all make sure you put everything on your card. If you go to the gas station and buy a soda for $1.25, i.e. any place that takes your card use, these small charges add up. Just don’t spend your cash elsewhere, because you will get a big bill at the end of the month. Also, anytime you get an offer to earn bonus points try to do it. For example, I received an offer for 2,000 bonus points if I pay 2 bills with my American Express Card, these bills can be, cable, phone, insurance, etc… I paid those bills any ways with the card every month, but after I did it that month, I called American Express and they gave me the points.
Another trick is, most reward credit cards have certain vendors that when you shop with them you can earn up to 10 points per dollar spent!! All you have to do is go to the vender through the hyper link on the credit card web site. They have many popular venders, like Best Buy, Macys, Staples, and a lot more. To find out which vendors give you bonus point for your card check your card’s web site there should be a link like “Earn Mile/Points Faster” or “Earn Bonus Points”. I know for American Express the link is Bonus Points Mall
So, lets start earning those miles!

Listen here Miles Pimp -- Miles are for amateurs - cash back is the way to go - why limit yourself to what the credit card co. offers whan you can use cash in any way you want.

Yes in some cases cash back can be better. But in most cases there is a limit on the amount of cash back you can get or you need to spend a minimum amount of money first to get the cash back. This is somthing I am going to discuss in a later post. So stay tuned!
