If you’re on a budget like me, then yuo’ll appreciate this. There is aplce where you can legitimately earn absolutly free frequent flyer miles just by answering some of the worlds dumbest questions (well, some aren’t dunb, but still)

There is a site called Looksmart, which offers 100 clickrewards points (1 point redeems for 1 FF mile)for answering 10 questions on thier boards. Questions run the gammet from household help (i.e. how do I get ink out of my carpet) to relationship advice to whatever. It’s really easy to log on and answer 10 questions a day, which translates into about 3000 ff miles each month. They are redeemable into most major US airlines FF programs. I redeem mine for NW miles, and have gained almost 15,000 miles, and they are in my account now. It isn’t one of those earn a zillion points and we’ll give you a ticket type places, you earn the points and can transfer them right away to your account. You haev to redeem them 250+ points at a time, but that’s no biggie, you can get that easily. I don’t do it religiously like I know I should, but I did get 8800 in one month, so it is possibly to rack them up quickly. It would also be ideal for people who only need a few thousand more miles to get to their award level and get a free ticket.

Here’s how to do it: Go towww.clickrewards.com. Sign up for an account (easy as pie). Then click on FEATURED OFFERS (on the left hand side of the page at the top), and in the list is LookSmart Live! and details of the program. You can then click on the link to take you to looksmart Live!‘s page, and register with them (you have to register in order to get the Clickrewards. I know it seems like a lot, but you’ll be done in 10 minutes. I have been doing it off and on since mid 2000 and have not had one complaint yet. They also have a whole lot of places that you can receive clickpoints at for making purchases, too, so if you shop online a lot you’ll really benefit. It’s a really nice program, and I’ll be using the FF miles for my next trip (yeehaa!) Any questions post ‘em here, and I’ll be happy to help.

PS: They also have a short term promo for a place called Barcode.com, where you get 500 points (500 miles) for registering and filling out a profile. It’s limited to the first 6000 people who sign up, so I don’t know how long it will last, but you also don’t have to buy anything and registering was easy and I haven’t been bombarded with junk mail.
