Hello! I'm DC-based (for now) and got into mileage running, manufactured spending, credit card stuff about three years ago. I've been flying for status coming on 20 years now.

Like tly, I would like to know more about the levels for the forum. I've also been trying in vain to understand fuel dumping for two years now and the FT people aren't helpful at all because of the paranoia.

I'm bg85 from AL. My progression has been: work travel led to miles/points accumulation which led to cash back accumulation which led to manufactured spending and indirectly investing in general. All of which are covered by Saverocity so thats how I made it to this forum.

My name's Jorge, and I'm a MS addict. Between multiple stays at Disney, an upcoming NYC trip, and a cruise next year, it's been a fun ride MSing.

Hey everyone, I'm Kylash a third year college student currently residing in NYC. I've been a Saverocity reader for several months now. As a finance major I have always been interested in seeking out innovative ways to get the best return on my investments whether they be in the markets or other areas of life. I got introduced to travel hacking and the points/miles game a little over a year ago when searching for better credit cards to put expenses for my amazon business on (I cringe now thinking of those two or so years when I thought 1% cash back was a good deal). My knowledge and skill set for MS has grown tremendously over the past few months but I know I still have a lot to learn.

Hello all, CJ from Alabama. I've done all the easy MS (Amzn pymts, Serv, HomeImprovement cards, gift cards, etc) but might like to branch out. For me, finding the most efficient method of utilizing these miles to great destinations is more difficult than the accumulation of miles. Followed Matt for awhile now on Twitter so looking forward to learning and sharing in this forum.

Hi,

I am from Northern Va area and have only been into miles and points for about a year. Now that my son is getting older it seems like a good time to more travel. Have gone to New Orleans and San Francisco on points (along with smaller long weekend trips). Looking forward to our first international venture. Right now only do light MS. Enjoy the articles and I joined due the friendlier environment and community spirit than exists on FT and elsewhere. Thanks!!

Choochmac, I am in NOVA as well. Honestly I did not even know that MS existed until today and it sounds like a lot of fun.

Hello.

Relatively new to the miles game. My wife and I want our son (and future children) to see the world. That is the main motivation for jumping into this and now we are addicted. I have lurked on other forums for some time, but now I want to start contributing and asking questions. I figured this would be a better place to join the conversation.

Thanks.

Hi everyone- I'm Shasha. I'm in the SF Bay Area, and have been involved in the MS game for about a year. I'm mostly focused on discovering my own methods and strategies rather than using the ones that have already been posted by bloggers. Looking forward to participating in this community and sharing knowledge.

Hi--Jill here.... based in TPA, playing the game for a while now (back to the Mint days)... For me, it's a definitely a great hobby.... best redemptions include flying my family to Italy for my wedding (6 biz seats on the same flight....thanks to hoarding from a couple of US Airways grand slams!) and the BA/LAN unlimited stopovers deal (MIA-LIM-CUZ-LIM-IPC-SCL-MIA). Looking forward to sharing tips and tricks!

Hi, I'm Michelle from SLC. I'm a newbie of six months or so, but I have two businesses that generate a good bit of expenses, so miles and points are starting to add up. I've already made a few dumb mistakes, and scored a few big deals. I really like Milenomics' idea of balance and finding your own best miles/points earning strategies. Lurking about FT has made me gun shy about ever posting there, but it would be great to share ideas with a group without getting flamed or judged

Hi I am Kate, I live in Chicago. Have been wanting to get started in the frequent flyer mile game for a while but needed to pay off some student loans first. Finally feel like I am financially able to start but am super overwhelmed by everything and want to make sure I can hit the minimum spends for everything. Main goals are to go to Australia and South Africa. So hopefully I will make some friends and pick up some good starting points and information here.
