Hello,

I'm Nick, based in Atlanta. I'm a fairly low-risk spender, in particular after getting caught up in some of the earlier Incom VR issues in ATL, but still see the rewards as being worthwhile.

I really appreciate the content and approach here Matt and hope the forum can be a useful way of keeping ideas flowing.

Hey, I'm Rich from Ohio. I've been MSing for a couple of years, but I'm definitely not an expert at it! My next trip will be taking my mom to Austria in September. I look forward to interacting with everyone.

PS: Whoever can guess the location in my avatar (must be more specific than just the country) will get 12 trillion points

Hi All,

I'm Ellen from Arkansas. I am fairly new to MSing. In fact, I just got back from my first big trip! I went to New Zealand using SkyPesos. Now I am trying to figure out where to go next! So as I am no expert, I am very excited to be here in order to learn and discuss more!!

Hi, I'm Terry from Central Texas. I have been following FT for 10 yrs and regularly post travel sweeps there under Frenchie Flyer. My husband puts up with my MSing and doesn't really follow it. FTers in my area have started meeting monthly and we find that a good way to communicate and share. A couple of my friends there turned me onto this forum. Thanks! I'm very interested in the 2nd tier or level.

I never thought having the flu might be one of the most valuable and productive things that could happen... Literally got started a few days ago while stuck in bed reading on my iPad. Signed up for Starwood rewards Amex and am trying to learn as much as I can. My husband wants to visit Barcelona, so that is the first trip in the works. Looking forward to learning and contributing!

Welcome Brianne,

As the old saying goes, make lemonade when life throws lemons at you. Good job on finding this forum especially if you started just days ago. Take your time reading up on things and finding what you want out of this hobby/obsession and what's your comfort zone. I started a couple months shorts of a year, but read a good bit for two weeks before taking the plunge. There are blogs out there and more importantly vastly experienced people around forums who can help you. Good luck

Hey everybody. Been reading Matt's blog for quite some time but I've been dragging my feet getting to this forum. I'm digging the vibe so far. I'm a big fan of MS and I don't mind experimenting so I'm looking forward to contributing to this community.

Cheers.

Dawg, how did I procrastinate to now and score the last entry on the intro page...for now anyway (sorry Matt, forgot to do this when signing up). I'm konorth and live in God's country, TVC, little cold in the winter but the water, the beauty, food, wine, brew, people and State Theatre make this a great place. And thank goodness our airport is so cute because it gets a lot of use from me, traveling on several long weekends through out the year. I've been in the game for quite a few yrs. Got lucky and found FTG back then, did some cc churns, read a ton, and he PM'd a lot of tips but didn't spill all the beans as he believed in teaching to fish. Next I fell on MS before it had a name, my 1st MS was ordering travelers checks with cc from AM EX rinse/repeat, yup b4 coins, and the rest is history. My new goal is to hit the 2nd level (hint!) ~and to continue to travel the world.

Hey everyone. I am excited about this forum. It seems a little more welcoming and inclusive than some of the others. Thanks to Matt for the great energy.

I am based in PHX and have been into miles and points for several years now, but work does not allow me to travel as much as I want to. I'm able to do maybe one bigger trip per year and several smaller domestic trips. I'm a single guy and points rich/ cash poor. So lately, I've been much more into finding ways to get cash back rather than lots of points (already have more points than I know what to do with). That being said, I am hoping to do more significant travels in the next year or two, possibly an extended world trip with miles and points. I look forward to this community!

Hi everyone, my name is Chris. I have been plying the discount travel game for about 5 years now (I believe I started with the US Airways Grand Slam promo)...It's taken me around the world a couple of times in the front of the plane. I've seen the game change over the last 1/2 decade and as soon as you think it's over, usually another avenue develops. I reside in the Kansas City areas and would look forward to meeting up with like mind travel and MS folks.

Level 2 Member
Hi there - Mark from NJ here. I've been casually mile collecting for nearly a decade, but my addiction to the hobby really took off a couple years ago when the 1st 100K BA offer came out. Since then, it's been a whole lot of churning, manufactured spend, and flying up front :)

I had a blog for a while - before I soon realized it was way too much work to maintain. More info can be found when I was interviewed by MMS a few years ago: http://millionmilesecrets.com/2012/11/16/milecollector-interview-with-mark/

Hoping to learn a thing or two on the forums and share my knowledge with others as well.

Hello All!!! I am KP and I am from Dallas. I have been in the points and miles game since about a year. Its been very exciting and I am addicted to it now. I also want to help and learn new things. So, looking forward to be part of this forum.

Thanks Matt for creating this forum. It would be great to hear from you more about what exactly this second level is and hopefully be part of it soon.

Hi,
My name's Lance, and I live in Wisconsin. Started down the road (err....sky....) toward low cost travel a couple of years ago. Since then, I've been able to take my family of five to Hawaii, Europe, Grand Canyon, DC, Rockies, Florida, and Alaska - for very low cost.

Always looking for new ways to travel / earn points /etc.

Great to be here!
