The largest online travel stock indicators on points

Did the blog began – a passion for sharing beautiful print?

When I lived in Washington, DC, in 2002, a group of people I knew started political blogs, but I did not feel that I had something unique to say that no one was saying in this field. I thought, what do people ask me? So I just started writing travel tips. At the end of the week in May, I prepared a free account on Blogspot.com and started writing, as you know, 30 people read it, then 500, then 1000. Last month, June, the blog traffic declined slightly to 5.5 million visitors, but in March it was 7.5 million.

Well, let’s talk about the numbers. Each point system feels a little different from the past. It is difficult to know what is really worth 100,000 miles when it comes to any specific loyalty program. What is your way?

Therefore, I have a close idea of the value of each currency. I appreciate the Marriott point in 65 basis points, for example, and the Hilton point in about 40 or 45, which revolves around where I appreciate the IHG point, while I appreciate the Hyatt Point at 1.4 cents, which is about what I evaluate in an American and Mile United. I appreciate the Delta Mail in about a shark, Virgin Mel at about nine tenths.

Using these measures as a rule, how can you achieve maximum use of miles?

You want to think about the value of miles as a special currency. There is no central bank, and it will be subject to a specific price level. The simplest model for this is the same type of analysis that you will inflate the currency issued by the government. Take the simple monetary formula, MV equals PQ. The amount of money in the economy is speed times, or the speed that you spend, will be an equation for the quantity of Q, the quantity, the amount of goods in the economy, and P, the price level, right?

Yes, correct. I knew that.

The price is affected by the amount of seats on the aircraft. Airlines have become good in what they call the capacity discipline and the non -sale flights. They print much more recovery in a specific year, and there are many ways to earn miles.

How can the beginner start?

Do not leave miles on the table. Subscribe to programs. Follow your points. I use prizeBut track your accounts as you want to do this. Get your account number when buying something via the Internet and go through the shopping portal. Great it by comparing the gates, whether it is like Savewise or Gustback Monitor.

It looks like a person, like any good points, knows his way about Microsoft Excel.

I do not use data schedules. I really have a good memory, and I have been interested in these things for nearly 30 years.
