So far this year I have flown 125,000 miles and have stayed over 100 nights in hotels. I put everything I can into United and Hilton with National Rental Car as my car.
I just booked 4 tickets to Maui for $40 (taxes) for next July and I have 2 of the nights covered in the Waldorf Astoria, Maui.
If you concentrate on it, this can be a great way to have some great vacations for loyalty.
This month I am in Minneapolis, Boston, San Francisco, Seattle, Vegas and then I go to Hong Kong, Singapore, Kuala Lumpur and Manila in Nov.
