Racking Up the (Frequent-Flier) Miles

Call it carbon-neutral mileage running. Over at The Art of Nonconformity, blogger Chris Guillebeau reveals how he collected more than 300,000 frequent-flier miles in just five weeks—without stepping on a plane. The secret? Some savvy manipulation of those ubiquitous “Sign up NOW and get 30,000 miles FREE!” airport credit card offers.

Guillebeau estimates that he spent roughly $500 on the experiment, and gained $12,000 worth of miles in exchange. His post includes detailed instructions for any readers hoping to join in the fun.
