Earning Miles and Points
I always stress the importance about thinking about miles and points beyond your hotel stay or flight. You can earn miles and points without even leaving the comfort of your home. There are a lot of lucrative options available to earn miles and points quickly. The fastest and the best method is signing up for miles and points credit cards. However, you can also kickstart your mileage earning by a joining dining program so that you can earn miles when you eat out.
Delta SkyMiles
You can still get some awesome sign up bonuses on the Delta co-branded credit cards from American Express. I recently wrote about how you can sign up for these cards and earn up to 80,000 Delta SkyMiles! These limited time offers end on July 31, 2019.
SkyMiles Dining
Dining programs are a great way to earn some additional miles on top of some of the other ways in which you may be already earning your miles. It’s pretty simple. You sign up for the dining program and link a credit card. Each time you spend at a participating restaurant in the network, you get bonus miles.
SkyMiles Dining, Delta’s dining program partner is currently offering a great promotion whereby you can earn up to 3,000 SkyMiles by signing up and completing a few activities. The bonus is divided into different parts. You need to sign up, register your credit/debit card and then within the first 30 days you’ll earn:

Dining programs are a great way to supplement your mileage earning. If you haven’t signed up already, this is a great way to earn 3,000 bonus SkyMiles.
