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?
If you have the Chase Sapphire card and are interested in buying anything from Sears, Kmart, or Lands End, consider the following opportunity to earn Chase Sapphire points, cash back, and Sears’ Shop Your Way rewards. Altogether, you will receive the equivalent of between 16.7% to 18.3% rebate!
1. Browse to the Chase Ultimate Rewards Mall and find Sears. At the time of this writing, purchases from Sears via this portal are rewarded with 10 Ultimate Rewards points per dollar. With UR points worth at least 1.25 cents each, that’s a 12.5% rebate right off the top. However,you can do even better. Rather than buying what you want from Sears, go to Sears from this portal and buy a e-gift card in the amount you need. Note that it may take an hour or so to receive your e-gift card.
NOTE: AS OF NOVEMBER 2011, SEARS PURCHASE BONUSES HAVE DROPPED TO 6 POINTS PER DOLLAR
2. Go to Big Crumbs and log in (if you don’t already have an acount with Big Crumbs, you can do me a huge favor by signing up via this link. Thanks!). Find Sears, Lands End, or Kmart on Big Crumbs and click through to buy what you want. Currently, Big Crumbs is offering 3.2% cash back for Sears and Lands End, and 4.8% back for KMart. Let’s say you go with Sears, you now have another 3.2% back for a total of 15.7% rebate! Before you checkout, though, read step 3:
3. Make sure you belong to Sears’ Shop Your Way Rewards program. When checking out of any of the 3 stores, enter your Shop Your Way Rewards number. You will earn 1% back. Note: you won’t earn Shop Your Way Rewards for the e-gift card, but you will earn for your final purchase. Don’t forget to use your e-gift card to make your final purchase. You now have a 16.7% rebate if your final purchase was from Sears or Lands End, or 18.3% rebate from KMart! This is in addition to any discounts or coupons you use anyway.
Note: if you need to earn a few more airline miles, go to your favorite airline’s shopping portal instead of Big Crumbs in step 2, above. This could be a great opportunity to earn a US Airways “Hit”.

Hi! Do you know if they make any plugins to assist with Search Engine Optimization? I’m trying to get my blog to rank for some targeted keywords but I’m not seeing very good gains. If you know of any please share. Cheers!
Hi would you mind sharing which blog platform you’re using? I’m looking to start my own blog soon but I’m having a hard time making a decision between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and Drupal. The reason I ask is because your layout seems different then most blogs and I’m looking for something completely unique. P.S Sorry for getting off-topic but I had to ask!

Why use BC in step 2? Why not just go thru UR again for more UR points (even the current 6 pts per dollar is better than 3.2% cash back)
HoKo: yes, you’re right. I wrote this post before discovering that you can double-dip at Sears through the UR Mall
I am curious to find out what blog system you happen to be using? I’m having some minor security issues with my latest site and I would like to find something more secure. Do you have any recommendations?

Hmm it seems like your website ate my first comment (it was extremely long) so I guess I’ll just sum it up what I submitted and say, I’m thoroughly enjoying your blog. I as well am an aspiring blog blogger but I’m still new to the whole thing. Do you have any helpful hints for newbie blog writers? I’d certainly appreciate it.
@veg mocking party: Thanks for the compliment! I’m very new to this as well, so I’m completely unqualified to give advice, but I’ll give some anyway! Write about things that interest you the most. If you’re not interested, then you’re readers won’t be either. Don’t rehash stuff written by other bloggers unless you have something new to say about the topic. Throw in an image or two to help catch the reader’s eye. Keep posts short and to the point — most people don’t want to read long essays.
Just out of curiosity, why mock veggies?
