Cupid Knows Your Heart's Desire...A Vacation!!

February 14, Valentine's Day is just around the corner.  Cupid knows we could all use a little love (and  a vacation too!) This lover's holiday, he can help earn you miles for your next trip.  Whether you're thinking of sending that special someone flowers, eyeing chocolate treats or a little bling, you can earn double miles on your purchase with your online frequent flyer program's shopping site.  And don't forget, Valentine's Day is also a wonderful way to treat yourself!  Nothing like anticipating the delivery of a special package and unwrapping something that'll put a smile on your face. That's a double bonus in my book...smiles and miles!

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

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