Website Helps Travelers Maximize Their Miles
ANNOUNCING
MileMaven.com -An Online Tool for Earning the Most Miles on Every Trip
MileMaven.com is an innovative and unique online tool that helps the frequent and not-so-frequent flyer earn the most miles on every flight and trip. Milemaven.com uses cutting-edge technology to aggregate, analyze, search and display double miles, triple miles, and other bonus miles promotions from more than 300 airlines, frequent flyer programs, and global airline alliances.
TRIP PLANNING
Just enter the two airports, and Milemaven.com searches hundreds of bonus miles promotions to display bonus mile offers relevant to your flight. Most offers require prior registration, so knowing about them beforehand might be the difference between earning 9.000 or 27,000 miles on a transoceanic flight. The offers are displayed using the novel MileMatrix to enable the traveler to compare promotions and offers from different airlines and programs at a single glance.
