Well, apparently greyhound wants in on the frequent flyer program game also.(Hey, it’s the most profitable sector for the airlines, so why not?)
They have launched their own “road rewards” program in which you can earn free travel.
More time on a greyhound bus as the top reward?

Believe it or not, there are some amazing magazine subscriptions to be had right on ebay.
I was doing some comparison shopping for a renewal to consumer reports and the best price to be found was on ebay (2 years and a buying guide for $25 including all costs) from a reputable seller who’s been doing subscriptions like this for a while.
So the next time you need to renew your magazine subscription, go to ebay (of course via the link found to the right!) and check for a better deal there!

The original deal I posted for day 3 is now dead as 25,000 people have registered, now there is a deal for 25,000 AAdvantage miles for a credit card, after you spend $250, and with an $85 annual fee.
As any good readers of this site know however, there is an unpublished deal to get 20,000 AAdvantage miles without any purchase requirements and fee-free for the first year!
So unless you feel the extra 5,000 miles is worth $85 (it’s not) you should skip past this anniversary deal…

Delta Dry Cleaning Linky
This one, I admit, may be just a bit over the edge…now you can earn miles for having your dry cleaning done at specific locations!
The connection between dry cleaning and miles has still yet to be made, but as they have a dry cleaners listed that i frequent anyway i might as well earn the miles, right?
All you have to do is register the credit cards you use to pay for your dry cleaning and you will automatically get a mile for each dollar spent(obviously on top of whatever miles you already earn for spending on the card)
It was a big surprise to me that last week’s firefox post raised such a ruckus, with more comments than even the famous $90 Hawaii deal.
At any rate here’s a few more tidbits…
-ctownbochur.com was ranked the 92nd(update-05/03:75th) highest site from which firefox was downloaded from across the web last week (no, they don’t pay out commissions…) Top 250 Sites Linky
-Over 60% of ctownbochur.com visitors now use FF, IE usage is down 10 points to 33% over the last week…
-Cnet has an article on the top 5 home-made “Firefox flicks”
-Still not on the bandwagon? Get Firefox for free right now!
OK, OK…that’s the last time I bring this up for a while…
These are really great headphones, and are a must for any ipod owner! I use them and the sound quality is literally 10 times better than the standard apple earbuds, plus they even block out peripheral sound!
(The advantage of these over the similar EX71’s is that the 71’s have a very small built-in cord, and a very long cord extender, making them impractical to use…)
This is from amazon, so $25 is needed to get to free shipping, so buy 2 and give 1 to a friend!

I’ve gotten quite a few emails from people confused over what I wrote about United’s mileage program last monday.
The main point was not that the Mileage Plus program is going to become worse than the other programs, rather that it will now come in line with rates from other programs.
Until now the Mileage Plus program had some great advantages over the other programs, it offered cheaper awards, and didn’t charge expedite fees. However now it will simply be “just another program.”
Also, there was a lot of confusion over the 2 kinds of mileage awards.
In short, every airline offers a 2 tiered system of mileage awards. The lower tier (Or in United’s nomenclature: Saver Awards)offers lower rates, but are capacity controlled and may be subject to blackout dates, and often aren’t available for your preferred travel date. Except for Australia, United left this tier mostly unchanged.
The higher tier (Standard Awards) are available whenever you want to go somewhere without restrictions. These are the true bargains of mileage travel, as last minute tickets can be astronomically priced-as much as 10 times the cost of a ticket bought in advance, but with mileage they are just double or so the cost of a regular mileage ticket. This is the tier than United made much more expensive across the board.
So, should this stop you from earning miles in the Mileage Plus program, or from earning 20,000 miles for opening a United credit card?
Absolutely not.
Should you go and book that vacation to Australia before rates skyrocket?
Sure!
