A New Year Means New Opportunities

Happy New Year and Hello 2012! I don't know about you; but I'm on a mission. I have resolved to check off at least two places on my bucket list in 2012; but I don't want to spend a lot.  So, that means I will need to make sure my mileage is on point.

After my fabulous vacay to Costa Rica for which I cleared my AAdvantage account, and the holiday season where I took advantage of mileage bonuses for all my online shopping, I am starting the new year with 9,019 AAdvantage miles and 9,006 US Air Dividend Miles. 

This mileage diva is determined to get back to the 100,000 mile mark.  I am up for the challenge.  You'll see... I will pursue mileage opportunities with extreme diligence (like a nut!); miles for dining out, everyday shopping, day to day business, traveling, charitable donations, and more.  I will share all the tips and bonus opportunities I come across so that you too can take build up your frequent flyer mileage.  Resolve to travel more, see the world. Bring it on 2012... I've got my eye on the prize!
