Checklist to free Airline tickets
Flying is FREE!
How? With Air Miles of course.
Did you fly with free airline tickets 6 times last year? I did!
Obtain and use a ‘Gold’ Credit Card
All major credit card companies offer a ‘Gold’ or
equivalent credit card to their customers which
includes several benefits including, free
insurances, loss and theft protection of purchased
items, and of course free air miles!
Yes, I know, they charge you a yearly fee to have
a Gold card. Yup, I paid $120 last year for my
Gold card and I flew six times. That means I paid
a whopping $20 for each flight I took. Okay, you
got me, I don’t fly for free but rather at a
99.9999% discount!
More Air Mile Points, Equals More Free Travel
Maximize the number of Air Mile Points you receive
by using your credit card for everything! And I do
mean everything.
Here are a few ways I use my card.
Personal Use:
- groceries
- clothes
- diapers
- gas
- dinning out
- movies
- entertainment
- school, tuition
- books
- CD’s
- health insurance

- life insurance
- down payment on new car
- car leases
- computer equipment

- and everything and anything else!
Business Use:
- Internet purchases
- paying affiliates
- paying suppliers
- paying contracted employees such as accountants,
programmers, support staff
- paying for advertising campaigns
- office equipment
- hotels
- rental cars
- food
… and anything and everything else you can think
of.
Think about it. At the end of the year, how much
of your salary is left in your savings account?
Ten, maybe even 15 or 20%?
Okay, let’s say you are an exceptional saver and
are able to save 20% or your yearly income. That
means 80% was spent on everything and anything
else. Spend it on your credit card and get the
free Air Miles!
Let me do the math for you…
Based on the example of spending 80% of your
income,
If you earned $50,000 that means you spent $40,000
If you earn 1 Air Mile for every $1.00 you spend,
that’s 40,000 Air Miles every year.
But Wait!
If you run a business and had expenses of say
$50,000 that would mean an additional 50,000 Air
Miles every year.
What if you earn and even larger income? What if
your company expenses are larger than $50,000?
Remember though, what you pay for using your
credit card MUST be paid off each and every month
in order to avoid paying absorbent interest
charges. I know, you knew that. But like
maximizing your Air Miles, most people don’t do
it. Make sure you are not ‘most people’ and enjoy
your free flights!
