For those earning miles, and even more importantly, for those trying to redeem them, this book is a must-read."

”Having Randy Petersen and Tim Winship write about the airlines and frequent flyer programs is like having Warren Buffett and Bill Gates write an advice book on investing and entrepreneurship. Both gentlemen individually possess an unlimited fountain of knowledge and insight into the ever-changing world of frequent flyer programs. By combining their talents, they create a treasure chest full of advice and wisdom for anyone trying to better understand the frequent flyer world.”
