Identity Theft on the Rise Amongst Military

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…

Andy’s Top Ten Websites He Follows

The top 10 websites I follow (and two bonus rewards!) I was watching ESPN’s top 10 something, I honestly can’t remember what (it was after midnight), and since it’s nearing the end of 2013, I figured I’d make a top 10 list. Since I was reading my RSS feed on the train this morning, a…

Happy Thanksgiving and Travel Safe!

One of the reasons you are seeing more content on The Military Frequent Flyer (TMFF – you know I have to make an acronym out of it; this is the military) is that an intrepid young officer came to me several months ago and offered to contribute his own interest and knowledge on better ways to…

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….

Chase Fee Addendum

It seems that in my post-ER-shift delirium, I forgot, while writing this article, to write about HOW to apply for SCRA benefits for Chase cards. My thinking at the time was probably that you’d read the article about how to get them for the Amex cards. Anyways – How do you get your fees waived on…

Donate to USO and Earn 15 AA miles/ $1

American Airlines is helping the USO out with a promotion they offer most years around Veterans’ Day.  For each dollar donated to the USO, American will give you 15 AAdvantage miles, with a $25 minimum.  This is pretty good payback for a tax deductible donation to a great charity.  See the details here.  The promotion lasts until 15…
