Frequent Miler's latest team challenge, Million Mile Madness, is almost done! The last two weeks Greg, Nick, and Stephen competed to earn 1 Million SAS miles by flying 15 airlines. But who completed the challenge with the most Speed, Affordability, and Style?
Welcome to our weekly list of what’s ending this week as well as a collection of some of the best ongoing deals around.

What’s the difference between this lending club deal and funding with any old CC thru kiva.com? (Genuinely asking)
I haven’t used either service before, so I’m certainly not an expert. I think there are a couple of differences though:
1) It’s possible to make a profit with Lending Club, whereas the best you can do with Kiva is that you get your money back.
2) Kiva can be funded by credit card, whereas Lending Club has to be funded by bank transfer, so there’s no double mileage play there.
