The Airline Miles Gigolo

You have 6 days to spend $540 dollars in gifts, best part is, you will get
ONE ROUNDTRIP TICKET!!!!!!!
80,000 miles = 1 roundtrip ticket international or 2.5 one way domestic (based on latest US AIR)= $540 dollars (Estimated)
*THIS WILL TAKE 2 HOURS TO DO*
Yes, its true! You have about 8 days to qualify. So if your a last minute shopper and need to buy gifts, this is for you!
Matt Thoren, one of the best researchers I know, sent me a link to the Frugal Travel Guy’s blog and Chris Guillebeau’s blog. The frugal travel blog often is great for those looking to save money and Chris recently posted an ebook based on earning miles with a lot of great information.
I really studied the two and have now become addicted to earning miles. I recently found this promotion and I decided to give it a try.
Cliffnotes-
-Miles are being given out and its a black market few really watch.
-Its a great way to accumulate stuff for free or at least a discount.
-US AIR is offering a current promotion that allows you to accumilate an added bonus amount buy spending money on gifts at affilate stores that offer miles when you buy.
-They will then give you 250 percent of your total based on what you already accumilated.
Heres how to do it:

If you dont have a divend mile account, signup free with US Airways first, then go to the divendend link below www.usairways.com/bigbonus.
During the promotion period (11/23 – 12/30),members will be eligible for a bonus. The bonus gives you miles for every purchase you make. Purchases must be made from one of many of their partners located at the above link. You will earn the divendend miles you normally do, PLUS THE BONUS.

For example if you FIRST buy a Gift Card at Target you will also earn 50% more of the normal divendends you get normally, which is two miles for every dollar. The scale goes up per purchase and by the time you get to your 5th purchase, they give you 250% of your MILES. See the scale below:
Stores shopped at /Bonus earned
1 50%
2 100%
3 150%
4 200%
5 250%
What ever level of bonus that is due to members will be applied to the FIRST 10 transactions You must go to 5 different stores.
THIS IS HOW YOU HACK THIS
Make your final purchases (up to 10) total transactions at TrackItBack.( http://www.trackitback.com/US/ )
and then you have 5 partner transactions. You’ll earn a 250% mileage
bonus ontop of the miles you normally earn from those merchants. HERES THE BEST PART. TRACK IT BACK GIVES 40 miles for every dollar spent!!!
If you spend $499 on the product they offer you will get 20,000 points normally, then an additional 250% of the 20,000 about 50,000 plus the miles on the other four purchase which if you do this right should take you to about 80,000. That’s, enough to earn you an international round-trip ticket.

IF YOU REALLY WANT TO APPLY YOUR STREET SMARTS-
You could essentially buy 4 track it backs for 2,000 which with the bonus will earn you up to 200,000 plus the other four. Then list the track it backs for sale on the web, (ebay or craigslist) Even if you get half your money back, you still get 200,000 plus miles for 1000 bucks.
Things to watch for; Your purchases at the five stores must be qualify purchases so be careful and follow up before you make the 5th purchase at that store. Dont be afraid to by a 5th somewhere else before your get the final one, your allowed up to 10, so essentially you buy a couple of the items on your last one and really rack them up!
You wont be able to use them until March but you will get them.

MY GIFT TO YOU, HAPPY SHOPPING!!!!!

The Four Hour Work Week in 60 Days, The Video

Posted on by

I have read the doubts, walked passed the doubters, and dined with the doers. The best part is, its was a Tuesday at 2pm on some secluded island.
Who would have thought I was diagnosed with Cancer.   Put your bucket list in the well and drink up, you wont be kicking that bucket anytime soon.  This is my story and your next…

Its been almost one year since I first contacted Tim Ferriss, after sending him this video.
Related to the earlier post, per request, here is the video.  Above is the intro and below you will find the meat and potatoes, broken up into three meals.
I have put together a short E-Book of the detailed outline and day to day diary of my progress.  Its free to the suscribers to this blog (simply type in your email to the top right of this page).
Cliff Note Version:
-Diagnosed with cancer
-Lost wages
-Accumulated medical bills
-Received the book as a gift
-Documented my interpretation of the book
-Achieved goals to free up my life style
-Successfully opened and sold a business in another country
-Generated automated money
-Did it in 60 days
-Successfully run a company that allows me to travel for a living, The Seven Wonders Tour.
-Continue to live healthy, travel the world, and be happy
Its very important to note as I stress, I HAD NO IDEA WHAT THE OUTCOME WOULD BE.   I ALSO DIDNT THINK THAT I WOULD BE SHOWING THIS FOOTAGE ON THE WEB, SO EXCUSE THE ROUGH FOOTAGE, BUT YOU SHOULD GET THE IDEA.
When the book was given to me, the minute I read the first couple of words, I had some crazy confidence.   I was determined to accomplish what Tim Ferriss calls, “A New Rich Lifestyle”.   I was so determined that I decided to document it on my little hand held camera.  It was that very camera that you will see produced the footage.   I actually had a goal to do it in twenty five days but was sidelined with unexpected Cancer Treatment for 40 days.
As Tim suggest, own the train don’t manage what time it comes in.  The moment I freed myself up from the 9-5 was the day true happiness set in.   Its not the actual low hour work week, its the idea.   For more details visit the E-Book Link or leave a comment.  There you will find the actual break down, with outlined expenses, and all of my detailed notes that you can use.  In the meantime, hopefully you can use this for some motivation or inspiration.  This is no claim to fame, but I do hope it can provide the push you may need, to try it yourself.  After all, its a bit lonely out here…

The Day I found Tim Ferriss:
tf

Tim Ferriss is a self admitted, “Hard to Find Guy”, but I am always up for a challenge.  First rule I use in finding those hard to find people who can help you out is: Email every address you can find associating yourself with that person.  Second rule: send something with the word “urgent”.  Lastly, find something interesting to send the hard to find individual. For example, if there is a “how to: bestselling book on the best sellers list for over a year (Four Hour Work Week), do exactly what it says to do, videotape your experience, and send it to the author.  Worked for me…who’s to say it won’t for you.  The question is, then what…????

Hotel Casinos and the Casino Rate
We have all seen the 3rd world casinos, at least once in our lifetime.  I have yet to really see any good post or comments on the actual logistics behind them.  So here goes…
The last time I went to Puerto Rico, I stayed at the Ritz. Not b/c I can afford $300’s a night at the hotel, but because I got a $99 dollar casino rate.  This is one of my favorite Travel Ninja tools to slash prices.  The more you travel the more you will find hotel casinos.  Learning the system has a lot to do with your street smarts. Instead of asking for the AAA rate or any upgrades, simply ask if there is a casino rate.  I first came to understand this the day I really worked a casino over.  Most people’s definition of working a casino over is a couple of thousand in a couple of minutes, then cashing out.  For me, it’s somewhat the opposite.  My goal is to make $100 per hour, have a couple of drinks for free, and most importantly become a Casino’s Host’s, best friend.
