We are an independent publisher. Our reporters create honest, accurate, and objective content to help you make decisions. To support our work, we are paid for providing advertising services. Many, but not all, of the offers and clickable hyperlinks (such as a “Next” button) that appear on this site are from companies that compensate us. The compensation we receive and other factors, such as your location, may impact what ads and links appear on our site, and how, where, and in what order ads and links appear. While we strive to provide a wide range of offers, our site does not include information about every product or service that may be available to you. We strive to keep our information accurate and up-to-date, but some information may not be current. So, your actual offer terms from an advertiser may be different than the offer terms on this site. And the advertised offers may be subject to additional terms and conditions of the advertiser. All information is presented without any warranty or guarantee to you.

This page may include: credit card ads that we may be paid for (“advertiser listing”); and general information about credit card products (“editorial content”). Many, but not all, of the offers and clickable hyperlinks (such as a “Apply Now” button or “Learn More” button) that appear on this site are from companies that compensate us. When you click on that hyperlink or button, you may be directed to the credit card issuer’s website where you can review the terms and conditions for your selected offer. Each advertiser is responsible for the accuracy and availability of its ad offer details, but we attempt to verify those offer details. We have partnerships with advertisers such as Brex, Capital One, Chase, Citi, Wells Fargo and Discover. We also include editorial content to educate consumers about financial products and services. Some of that content may also contain ads, including links to advertisers’ sites, and we may be paid on those ads or links.

    We’ll format your story and images for you.  And share your story with our ~25,000 daily newsletter subscribers, and ~50,000 Twitter followers.

    Plus, you may give other readers an idea for a trip of their own! 🙂

    Your Success Is Success Enough

    First Class flights and luxury hotels are great and all, but we love hearing about all kinds of trips.  Even simple flights to see nearby friends and family.

    Or if you shared your points with your mom, did volunteer work, or took a neat solo trip, those are absolutely considered a success.  If you’re excited about your trip, so are we!

    Bottom Line

    To share your trip using your miles and points, send us an email and we’ll send you back a brief survey. Reader success stories have become a highlight here at Million Mile Secrets.  And who knows, perhaps your story will be the inspiration for other readers to plan their own trip! Stories of all kinds are welcomed.  We’d love to hear yours!
