Free frequent flyer miles are available in many ways without actually flying on the airline giving you the miles. I list my favorites on this site. To view the offers, click on each of the categories in the menu to the left.

I have sought free frequent flyer miles for about nine years. For years my international round trip tickets have been free except for taxes and fees, and I have over 3/4 million miles still waiting to be used. Almost all of the miles I used to get the tickets and all of the leftover miles were acquired by means that were free and using programs I describe on this web site.

By no means do I list all of the ways to earn miles. I confine myself mostly to U.S. airlines, offers available to U.S. residents, and, most important, offers that are free or very cheap. There are other worthwhile offers that I usually do not list, but which are listed elsewhere on the internet. Some of those other sites are listed in the Other Programs I Like section of this web site.

The largest numbers of miles for the least amount of effort can be found on the Credit Card, Finance, and Telephone pages. But, do not fail to read that Other Programs I Like page. Many of the easiest and best offers are listed there, because they defy categorization. And don't sign up for a program, buy a ticket, or redeem an award until you read the Registrations and Other Bonuses page. Do it right and you might get extra miles. And don't buy anything until you familiarize yourself with the kinds of offers available on my Buying Stuff page.

As I research miles earning opportunities, I occasionally come across some easy free money offers. I list them on the appropriate page, and reference them on my Free Money page.

Are you new to this? Start at the How to Begin page listed near the bottom of the left menu. Is it worth it? Check out the Value of Miles page.

I have no financial affiliation with any of the companies described below, except that in a few of the programs I get a small number of miles or a small amount of money or other credit for referring you to the program, always at no cost to you. I always tell you about this in the write-up. I offer the information on this web site in the belief that travel is the key to world understanding, and therefore to world peace.

Caution and disclaimer: Any time an offer changes or expires, or any time there is a new offer, my site is instantly out of date. I do not get advanced warning or any other kind of special cooperation from those who offer the miles. So there is no possible way that I could always have every listing and every category up to date and accurate, though I do my best to keep up with the changes and new offers (except when I'm traveling). If you use the information on this web site, you agree that before acting on it you will check it for accuracy from the sources giving the miles and services I mention, and to not rely on the information you read here. You agree to read and understand the terms and conditions of each offer before you accept it. I do not warrant the accuracy of information on this web site, and assume no responsibility for it.

I depend on my readers to tell me about any inaccuracies, outdated information, program changes, dead links, etc., on this site. I especially depend on my readers to tell me about new offers and mileage producing ideas I haven't listed yet. If you find an inaccuracy or a new offer or idea, a polite email to me would be most appreciated by both myself and other readers. Thanks.

Happy free traveling.
