Frequent-flier miles quickly lose value
If you have frequent-flier miles, use them. And use them sooner rather than later. The reason: The value of the so-called free miles is dropping like Enron stock. Any collector of frequent-flier miles has seen it already. No matter which airline, every year it charges more miles to book a flight. What's more, it's harder to use these miles for a flight where and when you want to go.
