Show a Little Love, Get Lots of Miles

It's February and that means no end to the number of red hearts, chocolates, jewelry commercials, and references to beloved Cupid. Love, that many splendid thing, which connects us to family, friends, and lovers is a great reason to offer a gesture or gift to remind someone you care (even yourself -- nothing wrong with a little self love). Doing something special for others could result in a special trip for you!

With Valentine's Day fast approaching, don't miss an opportunity to earn miles when you show a little love. If you're planning to do something special for or with someone you love enjoy dinner at a participating rewards network restaurant to increase your frequent flyer mileage. Whether it's a beautiful floral arrangement, jewelry, a fragrance, chocolates, or some other confection, visit your favorite frequent flyer program's online shopping mall to get miles for your purchase.


Some of my favorite retailers (some offering up to 10 miles per dollar) around this time of year include:

• ProFlowers   
• Blue Nile                      
• Teleflora
• Red Envelope
• SpaFinder
• Spalook
• Harry & David
• Perfumania
• Mrs. Fields
• Shari's Berries

Love is in the air.  When you're celebrating Cupid's Day, get some miles so you can be too!
