We're well on our way to that vacation. Today it jumped from 166, to 190, and there will be 30 more to come in the middle of October, when they catch up my miles wracked up on the Air Miles search bar that I installed. I can make upto 30 Miles a month on the search bar, so I'm going to make dang sure I do. We have 190 now, 210 as of the middle of next month guarenteed, and we need 730 for a $100 Delta Hotel gift card. We earn 1 Air Mile per $20 spent, and double miles if we put something on the credit card (1 per $20) and show the card at stores where Air Miles are specifically given, or shop through the Air Miles eStore Affiliate program (another 1 per $20) meaning we can earn 2 per $20 if we do everything right. Walker has been putting his portion of the household bills into my bank account, and I've been paying them on the credit card, along with the groccery money. We still pay our own individual share, I just put it all on the card, so that we earn miles for EVERYTING. We're hoping to see that Croatian song and dance ensemble in Toronto next month, and that'll run us about $100 for two tickets (5 Air Miles on my card) and transportation is about 20-40 for Greyhound, depending on the CNIB discount we can get (another 1-2 Miles on the card) and Christmas shopping!! :) Walker knows what I want, and I told him to order anything he wants (he doesn't have to say what it is) on my card, but just stick the money in my account first), and then there'll be the stuff I'm paying for. We really want that gift card, and we're going to work like hell to get it!!!!!!!! If we can do normal spending and get 30 Air Miles just for spending (that's $600 on the card a month) we can do even more if we put ALL expenses on the card, from now on, and extra stuff for Christmas. We're so glad it's a pre-paid credit card, so we don't end up going into debt collecting miles. LOL I love being able to pay the card off before I even use it. So, we are well on the way to getting atleast one free hotel night for our vacation, and when we finally do go we'll be booking it on my card anyway, so that'll bring us all that much closer to our next vacation. God Bless Air Miles!!!! :)

Sounds like you've got a plan, I'm glad that you can redeem those miles. A lot of people don't even know they can do stuff like that so they just end up giving it back to the airline. Enjoy your quest.
