My wife and I have earned over 350,000 frequent flyer miles in the last year without setting foot on a plane. We chewed up a couple hundred thousand of those miles flying Business Class to Europe last summer, of course, but we’re busy plotting our next big trip, likely to take place in mid 2012.
Using techniques picked up from Chris Guillebeau’s Frequent Flyer Master and tips from Rick Ingersoll, the Frugal Travel Guy, Steve Kamb of Nerd Fitness accumulated – all by himself, mind you – 300,000 miles, but is taking a decidedly different approach to using them. Beginning in January, he’s embarking on a 4 continent, 9 country, 15 city trip – all of which – at least the flights – cost him a grand total of $418.37!
