Scott Higgins and Roy Asfar from Veterans Advantage sent me an article they wrote for Business Week recently and I wanted to share it with all of you even though it isn’t strictly travel related.  Here is a quote that I liked from the article: “According to a Federal Trade Commission consumer study released in…

10 Best Credit Cards for Military Members

Since I’m on a top 10 kick, I might as well write the post that most people want me to write, and that topic is credit cards! Credit cards are the easiest and fastest way to rapidly accumulate miles and points (or cash back), and is a major part of the overall strategy of cheap…

Help Your Favorite Charity Get Some UA Miles

Long time readers know that I have often highlighted ways that you can donate money or miles to worthy veterans charities. Past posts on the Red Cross and USO Now United has a promotion all month to divide up 10,000,000 United miles to a large number of charities depending on how you vote at their site…

TSA Pre-Check Update

Hat tip to Travelblawg, who let us know that as of December 20th, 2013, the TSA will allow all active duty, reserve, and national guard military personnel will have access to TSA Precheck lanes at the over 100 airports which currently offer it. Until then, unless you already have TSA Precheck, only 10 current airports support this….

Be Your Own Elite (BYOE) Program – Military Style

Andy: Sam Simon authors the website Milenomics, which is an excellent blog and one which I highly recommend. Although all his posts are highly informative, well thought-out, and entertaining, my favorite post of his so far has been on creating your own elite program, on freeing yourself from the shackles of sticking with one frequent…

A Contest for All Those Hawaiian Airlines Fans Out There

I don’t normally blog about airline promotions, but considering how many military member s are stationed (or retired) there, they may use HA as their FF program and get something out of this.  Here is the link to their promotion which will give you a shot at 100,000 HA miles and another drawing for 5…
