New Award Alert service, Random news, and support the site

Random News

  • I want to share this link I read from @turnbullben.  It’s EPIC!  Read here.
  • Infiniti mailed me a letter saying I owed them $440.  I brought it to the dealership, saw the closer, and said, “WTF MAN!?!”  He photocopied it and said he’d take care of it.  The funny thing is that I wasn’t even surprised when I got the letter.  By the way, they did waive about $300 in damages from my wife running the rims up against curbs, but I think they waived it since I stayed in the Nissan/Infiniti family.  I bet if I just turned it in straight up, they would have made me pay for that ‘excessive wear and tear.’
  • Did my Lasik 1-month followup.  Now I’m 20/15 vision.  Halos have mostly stopped.  Should have done it sooner.

Thanks for supporting the Site

I also want to give a huge thanks to everyone who supports the site by using the Amazon link to the right or any of the referral links.  I really do appreciate it.  I’ve contemplated going on a Milenomics / Bighabitat hiatus recently.  I spend more time writing on this site than I do finding things to resell, which has a much, much, much higher ROI.  Every time I want to quit, someone reminds me, “Hey look Vinh, when I search for ‘FBA partial refund processing,’ you’re the 9th search result.”  Even though the post doesn’t answer his question at all, it’s those moments that motivate me to plow on.  So really, I do appreciate all you guys who support the site.  I do have some Ink, Freedom, SPG, Discover IT referrals left so if you’re looking to apply for those cards, shoot me an email to vinh@milesperday.com and I can refer you.

 

New Premium Seating Alert service

So I’m introducing a new service to the site.

Premium Seating Alerts – $20

Let’s say you’ve booked an award seat in coach already but want to know when a business or first class seat opens.  Or maybe you’re waiting for a business or first seat to open before booking your award flight.  In both cases, you’re too lazy to check every day or whatnot.  I can watch it for you.  If I find it and you book the seat, you pay me $20 per trip (roundtrip or one-way).  If the seats don’t open up, you lose nothing.  WIN-WIN!  Send me an email to vinh@milesperday.com with the following information:

  • Airline

  • Flight number

  • Number of seats

  • Day of flight (plus or minus 2 days)

  • Whether you are looking for business or first class

You can find all the services I provide using this link.

  1. For the award booking service, do you search by route (SFO->NRT->HKG) or starting/ending city pair (SFO->…->HKG) for a specific day? Are you also doing this manually?
