Mileage Pro: The Insider's Guide to Frequent Flyer Programs

Customer Reviews:

This book should be renamed "Mileage Amateur"

By Bergdorf_Blonde - January 18, 2007

I am sad to say that I found this book very disappointing. It claims to target "the middle level of the mileage earning community" however most of the information is so basic that I cannot see this being an interesting read for anyone but the complete novice. People interested enough in frequent flyer miles to purchase a book about it will surely be knowledgeable about most of the content.

Examples of such topics include sections on the possibility of mileage being earned on airline program partners and not just the home airline, that extra miles are given for purchasing first- and business tickets, and how being loyal to a single airline or alliance is the way to earn elite status. There is nothing in this book that cannot be discovered by going to any given airlines home page and reading about benefits offered to elite members or how many miles are required for an award ticket.

A lot of information on mileage maximization is neglected. Petersen's... read more

Frequent Flyer Help

By David O. Lincoln MD - December 24, 2007

This book should provide one who's new to using FF miles help. It will be a disappointment to longstanding users of FF miles - there are no new surprises in the book's contents.

Total Waste of Time and Money

By Nicole - February 19, 2010

This book was a total waste of time and money. I have never written a review before but I was so disappointed in this purchase I felt compelled to write one. I had high expectations for this book- I have a few hundred thousand FF miles so obviously I am aware of the ins and outs of earning miles, using miles, etc. I wanted a book to explain how to redeem "more complicated" rewards, like those involving international flights, business/first class, open jaw routing, redeeming with partner airlines, legal routing with maximizing stopovers, etc. There is absolutely nothing of that sort in this book- it was just a waste of time to read about everything I and anyone with any common sense already knows. I cannot believe they got this book published! It is full of basic common sense info like "you should use affinity credit cards to earn extra points/miles", "try to avoid blackout or holiday periods", and other useless info that anyone who actually flies enough to earn enough miles for... read more
