These days it pays to make every dime count. One way you can do that is by using a credit card that gets airmiles. It would certainly be best if you happen to can phone your credit card company and see if you are qualified to get airline miles. Some are related directly to airlines and some are products of credit cards companies alone. Examples of airline-affiliate credit cards include the God and the Platinum Delta SkyMiles Credit Cards from American Express. American Express also have the Delta Reserve Card and KetBlue card which can be attributed with the airlines. Some cards usually are not associated while using the airlines including Visa Platinum and Miles Card from Discover which ensures they are more flexible on terms.

More people these days are discovering the truly great benefits of having Airline Miles credit cards. You will find numerous organizations who offers airline miles, but the most renowned are:

They offer you the power to choose which airline you wish to fly with. They may not limit you, nor stop you from using the flyer miles.

They will give you 20,000 bonus points for only paying $600 within the following three months starting in the day you’ve acquired your credit card. Bonus points can really promise you great things for travelling.

Each airline miles credit cards differ greatly depending in the card issuer and the airline affiliated with all the card, if many. Look into your travel habits and see which card best fit your want to make use of those airmiles a lot more efficiently. If you can not have the annual service fees waived, do a research and see if the service fees are low enough for you (you may also see miles as discounts are on strict guidelines. Most will probably not allow you to transfer, and in a case of blackout, you usually will not be accredited. Make sure that you travel using the best conditions.

In addition, many cards with airmiles offer some sort of sign-up incentive. Make sure you will surely use the bonus they provide. Believe that once you are a member, you will have the treatment of like a VIP. Usually do not be reluctant to ask when your old transactions may be acknowledged as airmiles.

Don’t be one of the many who does not appreciate the beauty of airline miles. These miles will go a long way to your bank. From a great stay in a hotel for days and more time spent with your family. A free of cost ride to another country may well not sound too nice when your expecting a luxury from your airmiles.

Check from qualifications and restrictions. Ensure that you can pile up points as soon as you acquire your card ready. Use your miles before they expire. Plan a trip and maximize your price savings using the miles.

You won’t just want one card. If you happen to are an active airplain traveller, you may need to see your other options. So take your time, investigate a little and make sure that you get the airline miles credit cards that you simply wish and want.

Triple Tree Fly-In – SCOO

jmfisher — Fri, 29 Jul 2011 21:38:35 +0000

Triple Tree Fly-In 2008

The Second Annual Fly-In at the Triple Tree Aerodrome (SC00) ran from October 8-12 2008. This is not your port-a-potty and picnic table kind of fly-in.

No, siree. Triple Tree Aerodrome is owned by Pat and Marylou Hartness and the airfield is best known for hosting radio-controlled airplane events. Pat bought the tower for $100 from a nearby military airfield and had it cut into quarters from top to bottom and reassembled on the Triple Tree airstrip. He won’t say how much that effort cost. This grass strip has a tower manned by volunteers from the Greenville, SC tower, like Sonny Massey.

Surrounding the grass strip lies 400 acres of lush camp ground, two small lakes, a wooden pavilion, two wooden restroom buildings, a large building on the crest of a hill overlooking the north lake that has a walk-in fireplace and kitchen, and an army of friendly volunteers.

Volunteer greeter Carol McKinney told about the radio-controlled airplane events held on the field that features one quarter-, one-third and even half-scale models. The power to weight ratio is off the scale for these models. Carol referred to the October fly-in as a full-scale model event.

Greenville Jet Center supplied a fuel trailer and a van for the event and Michelin supplied wheel chocks, tote bags and other supplies. The local chapter of the Civil Air Patrol sent a group of volunteers to help and a VHF Comm Radio for the control tower.

For information on next year’s events, see www.tripletreeaerodrome.com.
