Good afternoon everyone, I hope you had a great weekend.  I was working on my Buy Miles & Points Page and found 5 offers that end this week and many more end in December (see the list at the bottom of this post).  Always check the math to make sure that buying miles & points makes sense for you.  Do not buy miles & points speculatively unless you have a use in mind.  With that said, here are 5 offers that end soon.

Up first, Air Canada is offering up to an 80% bonus, depending on the number of Air Canada Aeroplan Miles you purchase. This offer expires tomorrow – December 10.

Around the World in 24 Days: Quick Update

Posted on by . 7 Replies

Greetings from Bangkok, Thailand!

It didn’t take long for me to fall way behind on blogging about my quest for a million SAS EuroBonus miles – with all this travel, it’s been harder than expected to find time to get work done, especially since flying in economy there’s rarely space to work on my laptop. But I wanted to give you all a quick status report.

Literal Data Points

a map of the world with red lines and points
  • Number of flights taken since November 10th: 14
  • Number of qualifying SkyTeam airlines flown: 10 – AeroMexico, Virgin, KLM, Air Europa, SAS, Air France, TAROM, Saudia, Garuda, and Vietnam
  • Number of flights posted to my SAS account: 7 – AeroMexico, Virgin, Air Europa, SAS, Air France, TAROM and Saudia
    • I’m getting a “route not eligible” error when trying to claim my KLM segments. This seems to be a common issue, but nobody’s had any luck contacting SAS about it
    • Everyone else except Air Europa (UX) has posted automatically, and I was able to get instant retro credit for my UX flight through the SAS website
  • Shortest flight: Saudia JED-MED, 201 miles, 32 minutes air time
  • Longest flight: Garuda MED-CGK, 4,972 miles, 8h46m air time

Around the World in 24 Days: Preparing for Takeoff

Posted on by . 6 Replies

Buenos dias everyone, I’m getting ready to take off on my 24 day round-the-world trip for the SAS EuroBonus Millionaire promotion so I thought I’d share a few updates on the final planning stages.

Hotels

At this point, I have all of my hotels booked except for the very end of my trip (Taipei, Denver, and Boston). Since many of the destinations I’m traveling to are fairly inexpensive, I ended up doing a lot of cash bookings, but I do have points redemptions with three different hotel programs scattered throughout.
