I’ve found that with a little bit of effort and know-how, it is possible to earn hundreds of cash back or airline miles each year without spending more than you would typically spend when eating at your favorite restaurants. In this blog post, I will go over the steps on how I was able to stack multiple dining offers to earn miles and cash back from my restaurant bill not twice, not thrice, but four times. Whether you plan to eat out or dine in, make sure to check out the various apps and dining programs I mentioned in this post. Good luck on your future dining stack.

So, I just pulled the trigger and booked a round-trip business class ticket from San Francisco to Tel Aviv during the Christmas holidays. At first, I did not really expect multiple award seats from various airlines to be widely available during the holidays. In this blog post, I’ll go over the steps I took from transferring points to booking with Flying Blue so you would not have to reinvent the wheel in case you want to replicate the process. Total miles: 125,000 Flying Blue Miles.
