Frequent Flier Program Skeptic
There was a good/interesting article on CNN today from contributing columnist Christopher Elliott. Christopher is the ombudsman for National Geographic Magazine. He points out some interesting conflicts with traveler programs and if they are really as good as they seem to be. It was worth the quick read.

Some people are very dedicated to the frequent flier mentality. This story is about 10 years old, but if you haven’t read about it then it’s well worth the quick read. Basically, in 1999 one man crunched some numbers and realized a Healthy Choice offer for award miles was too good to pass up. Despite this story being old, I wanted to pass it along since I hadn’t heard about it before. Enjoy!
This guy is a hero of the travel world. Great job. Here’s the link:

There are three things I can say about frequent flyer points, frequent guest cards, etc… Join, join, and join. Even if you think that you will never fly the airline again or stay at the hotel again. You never know what perk, coupon, or travel tip you will receive. Sometimes the fact that you are a “member” is enough to help you out in a travel situation. TIP: Join only if it is free or the cost of a stamp. It is rarely worth paying for any of these clubs.
