My youngest daughter will be spending a year of university study overseas next year and I plan on using miles to cover the flights for my family of five. We’ll spend a two week vacation visiting her and touring the area. Can’t wait for December 2015!
1. Grant January 3, 2015 at 5:02 pm
  
  Sounds awesome, will you daughter by studying in Europe or Asia? Great use of miles and points!
Liz @ Yes/No Films January 3, 2015 at 4:58 pm

I’d love one of the Delta ones, but any of them would be fine :).

In 2015, I’m most looking forward to one of my blog conferences, in CA, and hoping to travel more too.
1. Grant January 3, 2015 at 5:03 pm
  
  Which conferences will you be attending? FTU DC or TravelCon? Or not miles/points related?
Laarni January 3, 2015 at 5:00 pm

We’re using miles to go on a 2-week vacation in London and Paris. It will be my family’s first time in Europe! :)
1. Grant January 3, 2015 at 5:04 pm
  
  Sounds like a great trip. My first trip to Europe was to London and Paris with my parents and younger brother, we had a great time and I have been back to Europe many times since. Europe in summer is awesome, such long, sunny days :)
Joan January 3, 2015 at 5:00 pm

Grant- I love your blog. When I read the title to this post in my email feed my brain told me to read “amenity kit’ as ‘amnesty kit’ and I kept trying to figure out what that meant…like did the airline get mad at you for having so many miles but they were willing to forgive you if you bought a first class ticket? Then I read the actual post and saw the pictures of the amenity kits and I realized my stupid mistake. Anyway just thought I would share my silly story. Keep up the good work and happy new year!
1. Grant January 3, 2015 at 5:06 pm
  
  Thank you Joan, interesting story. I guess I would need an amnesty kit if I was fleeing from the US to some foreign country. Not sure they make those kits…
Pam January 3, 2015 at 5:00 pm

Looking forward to new opportunities to grow my business and travel more.
1. Grant January 3, 2015 at 5:07 pm
  
  Good luck with both opportunities!
Jim January 3, 2015 at 5:03 pm

Looking forward to an SF adventure this summer.
1. Grant January 3, 2015 at 5:09 pm
  
  Me too! I hope SF has a wonderful summer, maybe I’ll see you then :)
SF January 3, 2015 at 5:11 pm

Planning for two weeks in Europe this summer– LON/AMS/FRA … all on points/miles.
1. Grant January 3, 2015 at 5:13 pm
  
  Sounds like an awesome trip! I really love Amsterdam, I’ve been there a several times. Stay at the Andaz Amsterdam, if you have Hyatt Points. Great hotel in a great area.
Jon January 3, 2015 at 5:14 pm

Looking forward to traveling to a number of weddings this summer
1. Grant January 3, 2015 at 5:30 pm
  
  Sounds fun, I hope you have fun at the weddings.
DavidNJ January 3, 2015 at 5:15 pm

I’d love to retire but living in New Jersey means paying big time to Caesar so off to work I go. In the meantime, I want to burn as many miles & points as possible to take me where I’ve never gone before. The AA of Delta kits would be terrific but any will do.
1. Grant January 3, 2015 at 5:34 pm
  
  Thanks David, got any big trips planned for 2015?
  1. DavidNJ January 3, 2015 at 7:08 pm
    
    Have an 8 night trip to Aruba on points and miles in March (Thanks Club Carlson & Southwest Companion Pass … again)! “Spent 10 nights on the same itinerary over Thanksgiving” Haven’t decided where else yet, but basically I have the option to go anywhere in the world thanks to accumulated miles and points. Thanks to Grant and all the other experienced bloggers, the world is my oyster. Gotta Love miles & points!!!
    1. Grant January 3, 2015 at 7:40 pm
      
      Sounds like a great trip. I went to Aruba a few years ago with my family and really enjoyed our time there. Very good snorkeling and scuba diving options. If you get a chance, try to go to Curaçao as well. Similar feel but more activities on and around the island.
Kathie Allen January 3, 2015 at 5:16 pm

I’m looking forward to my daughter graduating from high school and her first year of college! I would prefer the AA amenity kit! Thanks!
1. Grant January 3, 2015 at 5:35 pm
  
  Congrats to your daughter, I hope she has a great year in college.
Kelly s January 3, 2015 at 5:26 pm

Been saving up points to take some family to hawaii this year! Normally we go every year on points but this year we are taking the parents in law! They have never been and it is going to be awesome!
1. Grant January 3, 2015 at 5:37 pm
  
  That’s very generous of you to bring along your parents-in-law. I hope you all have a great trip!
Jason January 3, 2015 at 5:26 pm

Looking forward to visit Orlando with Delta/AA miles! :)
1. Grant January 3, 2015 at 5:38 pm
  
  Jason, do you have any plans to visit Disney World or Universal Studios while in Orlando?
Daniel January 3, 2015 at 5:28 pm

I’m looking forward to more first class upgrades!
1. Grant January 3, 2015 at 5:40 pm
  
  Don’t we all! Got any exciting trips planned for 2015?
Brant January 3, 2015 at 5:29 pm

Hey Grant,

Congratulations on a fun and profitable year in spite of a few set backs. I am really happy you are still enthusiastic about your blog!

In 2015 I am looking forward to sharing the gift of travel with my new SWA companion pass and over 1,000,000 points and miles that I have acquired thanks to creative people like you who tirelessly research and share great ideas with all of your readers.

I am also looking forward to April FTU in Dallas to meet the bloggers and refine my skills to even higher levels.

Thanks again for 2014 and all the fantastic information!!
1. Grant January 3, 2015 at 5:41 pm
  
  You’re welcome Brant. I find acquiring the SWA Companion Pass easy, but finding a companion to be the hard part. I’ll be at FTU DFW in April, I’ll try to find you there :)
whitney January 3, 2015 at 5:30 pm

not to be a Debbie downer but I am looking forward to spoiling my two-year-old bulldog rotten and giving him the best year of his short life! he was just diagnosed with lymphoma which comes with an average prognosis of only one year, despite his young age. (hence why i havent finish my mileage run write-up
1. whitney January 3, 2015 at 5:32 pm
  
  ps – AA please :)
2. Grant January 3, 2015 at 5:42 pm
  
  I’m sorry to hear about your bulldog, that is very sad. I hope you guys have a great year together :)
  1. whitney January 3, 2015 at 6:47 pm
    
    for some reason it cut off the second half of my post. it said that unfortunately this probably means I will have to put travel on hold for the year but it will give me time to focus on doing more MS to use towards a kick ass trip in his honor when the time is right.
    1. Grant January 3, 2015 at 7:35 pm
      
      Maybe he will go with you on your MS errands. No one will question your MS habits if you have a cute puppy by your side :)
Brant January 3, 2015 at 5:31 pm

Forgot to check the “Notify me of new comments via email.” box. Got it now.
1. Grant January 3, 2015 at 5:43 pm
  
  You are going to receive many emails Brant, are you prepared for the Avalanche?
K Johnson January 3, 2015 at 5:31 pm

I’m most looking forward to taking my sons and my parents to Disney World in August!
1. Grant January 3, 2015 at 5:44 pm
  
  Sounds like a great family vacation. I hope your sons have a great time at all the Disney theme parks :)
Brian J. January 3, 2015 at 5:36 pm

My friend and I are doing Paris, Berlin, Amsterdam, the Amalfi Coast, Venice, and Madrid in February. Most of it is funded with points/miles! We can’t wait. Thanks for all the knowledge you’ve shared.

Would love the Delta kit as a first choice but any would do! Thanks for doing this. Happy New Year!
1. Grant January 3, 2015 at 5:47 pm
  
  Sounds like an awesome Euro trip you have planned. Great timing too since the Euro is around $1.20. I love Amsterdam and Paris. I hope Berlin will not be freezing like it was for me last January. Have fun!
Josh January 3, 2015 at 5:36 pm

I am excited for my 11 day trip courtesy of Etihad that will take me to Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Doha, Cairo, Johannesburg, and Cape Town. I would love the AA or Delta kit!
1. Grant January 3, 2015 at 5:49 pm
  
  That sounds like an awesome trip. I’ve never been to the Middle East or Africa, but I definitely want to go! Did you get in on any mistake fares to those places?
Scott G January 3, 2015 at 5:37 pm

I plan to make great use out of my SW Companion Pass with my son!
1. Grant January 3, 2015 at 5:50 pm
  
  Nothing like father son bonding. Going anywhere exciting? Cabo is a great destination :)
Judy jones January 3, 2015 at 5:41 pm

Trying to plan to take three friends to Peru for 10 days from all my MS, it is like herding cats! Would love the United one!
1. Grant January 3, 2015 at 5:53 pm
  
  Haha, it’s tough to plan around other people’s schedules. I hope you find a time that works with everyone’s schedule. Will you be visiting Lima and Cuzco?
Atif January 3, 2015 at 5:44 pm

I have a long trip to NZ planned…. Hope to see a lot of the country by driving around in a camper van!
1. Atif January 3, 2015 at 5:46 pm
  
  I already have a Delta kit, so a United kit would be cool….
2. Grant January 3, 2015 at 5:54 pm
  
  Nothing like a New Zealand road trip! Will you be visiting both islands? Don’t forget to go to the Hobbit world.
renee January 3, 2015 at 5:46 pm

I am most looking forward to a trip I have planned for my family (12 of us) to France. While it will drain over a million miles from my account, I am looking forward to spending time with my entire family and have them experience flying business class most for the first time.
1. Grant January 3, 2015 at 5:55 pm
  
  Wow, that is awesome. Glad you could bring your entire family to France. Did you have to find flights on many different flights?
phil January 3, 2015 at 5:47 pm

Looking forward to my first trip in Singapore Suites.
1. Grant January 3, 2015 at 5:56 pm
  
  Something tells me you will probably want to go on a second Singapore Suites flight as soon as you land :)
Quincy January 3, 2015 at 5:48 pm

I’m looking forward to two trips this year booked on mistake fares! The most recent one to Abu Dhabi for $178 RT and one to Qatar for $278. Thanks so much for doing the giveaways…. Hopefully I win!
1. Grant January 3, 2015 at 5:57 pm
  
  Sounds like 2 great deals. Glad you were able to take advantage of those sweet deals to the Middle East. Have fun!
RJ January 3, 2015 at 5:48 pm

Going back East (from CA) with my entire family and also to somewhere in the Carribean with my wife – all on miles and Pts for 7 total round trip flights and 11 nights in hotels! I like the Delta Tumi Kits. :)
1. Grant January 3, 2015 at 5:59 pm
  
  Great use of miles and points. Where in the Caribbean will you be visiting?
cynthia l January 3, 2015 at 5:48 pm

Hi grant. Happy new year and welcome to the Bay Area. You will love it here… Looking forward to spending more time with family and loved ones and continuing to enjoy all the great food and everything San Francisco has to offer. Life is already good as it is (counting my blessings) but if I do take a trip to Southeast Asia or Europe this year it will be just gravy :). Would love the delta tumi kit if possible or any of the others would do just as well. Welcome again!
1. Grant January 3, 2015 at 6:01 pm
  
  Thank you Cynthia, maybe I will see you at one of my Bay Area meetups. I work near Civic Center. Let me know if you are ever in the area. Have a great weekend!
Christie January 3, 2015 at 5:54 pm

I will be using points to go to Paris for a friend’s wedding in August, still contemplating where in Europe to hop to after the wedding!
1. Grant January 3, 2015 at 6:03 pm
  
  That is a tough call. So many great places in Europe to go. Maybe take Eurail around to some nearby cities?
Michael January 3, 2015 at 5:59 pm

I am most looking forward to going to Korea in a couple of weeks to finalize the adoption of our son and bring him home.
1. Grant January 3, 2015 at 6:05 pm
  
  That is so awesome. I am really happy for you. All the best to you and your new son.
stephen vaughan January 3, 2015 at 6:01 pm

why didn’t you tell us how/where/what-link-to-click to enter?
1. Grant January 3, 2015 at 6:06 pm
  
  No shortcuts to any of my contests/giveaways. You gotta win the hard way :)
Carlo January 3, 2015 at 6:02 pm

I’m actually looking forward to coming back home! I’m 6 months into a 1-year round-the-world trip and can’t wait to finish and see my family&friends again!
1. Grant January 3, 2015 at 6:08 pm
  
  That sounds like an amazing around-the-world adventure. Where are you now?
Stephen Vaughan January 3, 2015 at 6:06 pm

A simple “Enter” button would suffice. Or are we to assume this “Got something to say?” box is where we enter?
1. Grant January 3, 2015 at 6:10 pm
  
  Yes, that’s the right box. Sorry for the confusion, that is my standard comment box message.
ruth rehak January 3, 2015 at 6:09 pm

Using your tips, and those from a couple of other points/miles bloggers, I have a amassed about 600,000 points /miles. For me, the challenge is figuring out how to use them! I have not yet ever redeemed any miles/points but I swear I will do it in 2015! I am thinking about a trip to Bali for a month or two. Maybe I need to go back and read some of your old posts to figure out how to do it and boost my confidence!
1. Grant January 3, 2015 at 6:20 pm
  
  Good evening Ruth, you have a nice stash of miles and points. Check ITA Matrix for paid flights to your destination then figure out how to use miles on those same flights. It might take a while but it is a good learning experience.
Kay January 3, 2015 at 6:27 pm

Looking forward to baby #2 in May… And hopefully a babymoon between now and then
1. Grant January 3, 2015 at 6:29 pm
  
  Ooooh baby, congrats on baby #2. If you need boy names, Grant sounds like a good choice :)
Abhishek D January 3, 2015 at 6:27 pm

I’m looking forward to some exciting trips in 2015 with my wife and I prefer the Delta Airlines Business Elite Amenity Kit. Thanks for the opportunity!
1. Grant January 3, 2015 at 6:30 pm
  
  Sounds great, I’m sure your wife appreciates the trips :)
phill gold January 3, 2015 at 6:33 pm

finally got back into the work force doing youth outreach. Thanks!
1. Grant January 3, 2015 at 7:27 pm
  
  Thank you Phill, your work is greatly appreciated in the community.
Preston S January 3, 2015 at 6:35 pm

Most looking forward to an anniversary trip to Hawaii this spring with my wife. From the east coast out to the Big Island.

I’d prefer the Delta kit but beggars can’t be choosers.
1. Grant January 3, 2015 at 7:29 pm
  
  Sounds like a great trip, I hope the weather and flight to Hawaii are excellent.
flyingcturtle January 3, 2015 at 6:36 pm

Looking forward to taking my mother to Rome, London, and Paris. She has never left the US and she only knows we are going to London. So hopefully it will be a huge surprise.
1. Grant January 3, 2015 at 7:30 pm
  
  Sounds like a great surprise, I am sure she will have a great time in Europe with you.
Brenton January 3, 2015 at 6:43 pm

Just had baby #1 on Halloween, and I’m looking forward to taking him to Europe in Business class through the new ANA award chart.
1. Grant January 3, 2015 at 7:32 pm
  
  I hope he has a great time in Europe. My parents went to Australia when my mom was pregnant with me, but we never flew in business class.
Dom January 3, 2015 at 6:47 pm

I’m looking to go to Europe with my friend to pick up his European delivery car!
1. Grant January 3, 2015 at 7:33 pm
  
  Are you guys visiting Germany to pick up a Mercedes Benz or BMW car? If you are, check out the car museums there, they are amazing.
projectx January 3, 2015 at 6:48 pm

I’m looking forward to spending a few days with my wife on our first ever trip to NYC! I’ve dabbled in the points hobby but started taking it seriously this year. It will be our first trip funded solely by points and cashback so we are extra excited. Plus, grandparents are watching the kiddos while we go!

I’m interested in either the United or American kits. Mostly because I hate Delta! :)
1. Grant January 3, 2015 at 7:36 pm
  
  Sounds like a great trip without the kids. I’m sure they will have fun with their grandparents. I haven’t been to NYC since like 1998, I need to go back soon.
Dee January 3, 2015 at 7:00 pm

Looking forward to a trip to Scotland! And actually getting to redeem my Delta miles:)
1. Grant January 3, 2015 at 7:37 pm
  
  Congrats on redeeming your Delta SkyMiles, Scotland sounds amazing. Are you an avid golfer?
Matthew R January 3, 2015 at 7:07 pm

I’m looking forward to using my miles for a good cause this fall when myself and some coworkers head to Haiti for a week of service.
1. Grant January 3, 2015 at 7:39 pm
  
  Sounds like a great use of miles. I’m glad you are able to give back to the Haitian community, I’m sure they really appreciate your help.
Dan January 3, 2015 at 7:17 pm

Looking forward to honeymoon in Seychelles on Etihad mistake fare.
1. Grant January 3, 2015 at 7:41 pm
  
  Sounds like a great honeymoon, that will be tough to beat for the anniversary trips. Have a great time in the Seychelles.
Shane January 3, 2015 at 7:26 pm

I’m looking forward to going on a Disney cruise in 3 weeks! Then looking forward to converting points and miles into a hawaii trip in November, although I still need to convince the significant other that we need another vacation!

I’d prefer either the Delta or AA amenity kit.
1. Grant January 3, 2015 at 7:42 pm
  
  Have fun on a Disney cruise, I have heard many good things about Disney cruises. You wouldn’t have to convince me that we need another trip to Hawaii :)
coptermedic January 3, 2015 at 7:29 pm

Traveling to Antarctica and setting foot on my seventh continent
1. Grant January 3, 2015 at 7:43 pm
  
  That’s amazing, are you taking a boat from the southern tip of Argentina? I’m sure you will have a great time in Antarctica.
TTN January 3, 2015 at 7:31 pm

It’s going to be a busy year for us. Our summer plan is still in the “thinking” stage, but we are thinking of a California road trip from Orange County to San Francisco area (to visit Grant lol). Delta kit (haven’t been on Delta for a long time)
1. Grant January 3, 2015 at 7:45 pm
  
  I would recommend driving up PCH and Highway 1 if you want a scenic drive. You might also want to consider Amtrak along the Coast Starlight train.
r hirsch January 3, 2015 at 7:35 pm

i will be returning to india, having left there in dec for holidays at home, in march. why will i return? to continue my volunteer teaching position in the rural state of jharkhand. i have learned that not making money, but making solid relationships around the world, is the way for me to live.
1. Grant January 3, 2015 at 7:47 pm
  
  That sounds like a very rewarding occupation, I’m sure the students love you as a teacher. Have a great flight back to India.
SJ January 3, 2015 at 7:52 pm

Looking forward to surprising my bride with a trip to Cornwell in July.
1. Grant January 3, 2015 at 7:59 pm
  
  Sounds like a great trip, I hope she loves Cornwell.
Kim January 3, 2015 at 7:57 pm

Grant-I enjoy your blog and find things here first (or no where else) written in a clear and concise way. I am looking forward to TravelCon OC and planning another trip to the Big Island-need to use the Hilton Grand Vacation Club package I purchased last July. I would love the Delta Tumi kit, but would enjoy any of them. Thanks?
1. Grant January 3, 2015 at 8:00 pm
  
  I will see you at TravelCon in a few weeks. I’m supposedly speaking about PayPal, so it should be interesting. Hopefully you get to use your HGVC package soon.
