My friends and I got a few round trip plane tickets once. Wendy's had a deal where their largest drinks had coupons to cut off their sides. I think 60 coupons got you a one-way domestic ticket on AirTran and 120 got you round trip. We were kids so we went dumpster diving at a couple local restaurants, found hundreds and hundreds of cups, and walked away with 3 or 4 round trip tickets. Not nearly as amazing as 1.25 million air miles, but we were pretty proud of ourselves.

That's your own blog, I feel you should disclose that because the tone of your post makes it appear as if you're just a reader.

And reading that blog doesn't equal 1.25 million miles. I'd like to know what strategies you used.
