So, those are a few of mine and I would love to see what your favorites are as well! Please check out the above blogs as I really enjoy them and think you will as well.
Here are the Giveaway Items!
Here is what is on the giveaway block for today:
- American Airlines’ Upgrade Certificate
- Amazon Kindle Fire 7″
- Garmin Vivosmart Activity Tracker + HR
- Anker Ultra-Compact Portable Charger
- Amazon Echo Dot – a great Alexa interface for your home!
- SPIbelt (check out the belts on this page – the winner will get to select his/her choice)
The Amazon Fire tablets can also be used for reading and playing content as well as downloading apps for your enjoyment.
If you want to try and be more fit in this coming year, then the Garmin Vivosmart Activity Tracker is perfect for you! I love Garmin devices and I think you really enjoy this one.
One of my favorite pieces of gear is the SPIbelt – a perfect way to carry anything you need on a run and to load up for a trip (great for getting through security quickly instead of emptying your pockets). The winner of this item will get to choose his/her choice from this page here (the non gift packs).
And, finally, I have and use an Anker charging device and they can be a real help, plus they are very tiny.
I really enjoy all the BoardingArea blogs! Keep up the good work.
My favorite is DC Rainmaker, for the sports tech reviews.
My favorite is The Frequent Miler
I like the travel part the most. I travel several times a year as well!
Yours and Million Mile Secrets.
View from the Wing. Gary has great content and brings an educated viewpoint to most discussions.
Yours and Andy’s Travel Blog!
My favorites (beside Running with Miles):
-Mile Value
-Travel is Free
-Loyalty Lobby
-Mighty Travel
-Frequent Miler
-Loyalty Traveller
*loyalty traveler
I also like Mommy Points, she can be pretty funny 🙂
Million Mile Secrets was the first blog I read a few years ago and have continued learning from him.
I like the marathon reviews, particularly I liked the Dubai marathon blog
I like One Mile At A Time for the fantastic premium cabin and luxury hotel reviews. No Mas Coach has been a new favorite of mine as well!
Renespoints is a good blog for me because I’m a frequent Delta flyer and that blogger seems to focus more on Delta than other airlines!
I read yours, Frequent Miler, One Mile at a Time, and other Boarding Area blogs.
Great giveaway! We don’t follow any travel/points blogs except running w/ miles. 🙂
Your blog + travelisfree (the award charts, maps, cheapest miles to____ posts are very informative), and Expertvagabond (as a travel blog).
Thanks for the all the tips, BoardingArea is my top site.
I like View from the Wing, but I like your blog too!
In the fitness space, I really love blogilates. There are great, short but really challenging workouts.
Yours (of course) and View from the Wing & One Mile at a Time
Besides this one, I’m a Nerd Fitness fan.
The whole entire BoardingArea website is my must read everyday.
Your blog of course and doctor of credit!
I like The Frequent Miler, but of course yours is up there as well! 🙂
BoardingArea is my daily must read.
I like …
– The Frequent Miler
– One Mile At A Time
– View from the Wing
Thanks!
Besides boardingarea (which is a near daily read for me), I also check out saverocity, slickdeals and travelcodex.
Every Boarding Area blog
Doctor of Credit is high on my list! I think the best part is how responsive the guy is, frequently responding to other comments, editing the blog to include reader input, like displaying the count of DPs.
Rapid travel chai is my favorite!
I also read boardingarea, the reward boss and Slickdeals.
Enjoy reading Andy’s Travel Blog.
Dr of Credit is one of my favorites and of course Running with Miles!
Nomadic Matt was the first blog I followed
I enjoy Le Chic Geek a lot
I agree with Doctor of Credit. I send a lot of my friends to read the information!
Besides yours, I also like One Mile at a Time.
I love DC Rainmaker! I’m a run-only gal, but Ray makes so much of the gear for cycling sound exciting and way less over-my-head than I ever thought! He also had a great post recently on the camera gear he uses which was very cool!
Being based out of MSP I enjoy Rapid Travel Chai.
My favorite travel related blog is Travels with Mai Tai Tom. He’s a colorful (and hilarious) storyteller
woot!
Boarding Area as it consolidates many blogs together.
Yours, Renespoints and Mommy Points.
I fairly new to this points and miles gig so I read the Boarding Are to get a feel for who is out there.
I really like all the Boarding Area blogs and theflightdeal.com .
Travel is Free is one of my favorites. More advanced tricks
Running with miles and Million miles secret.
TPG, OMAAT, DOC are good ones
Doctor of Credit is my favorite blog. It gives clear,direct information about credit cards that travelers can use without the site “pimping” the cards.
I love all of the Boarding Area and Prior2boarding blogs, Doctor of Credit, Blogilates, Legal Nomads, Nomadic Matt, Migrationology
Doctor of credit is the best.
Thanks for the giveaway
Boarding Area, Doctor of Credit, One Mile At A Time
I love catching up on all of the Boarding Area blogs.
Dr of Credit is definitely my top blog
I love all the stuff y’all post. Read this site more than a few times a day
I like Boarding Area, One Mile at a Time, and yours! Thanks again!
I am new to this site, and am finding it very valuable. Keep up the great work. Love it!
The girl and globe
Thanks for the list, I was missing a couple.
I like doc of credit because I can find out about specials that are not travel related too! But Running with miles is awesome!
Loyalty Traveler for AA mileage runs out of CA.
Love almost every blogger on boarding area, specially you and OMAAT.
One mile at a time and yours.
I just follow all the blogs on boardingarea. Thanks for all the tips.
A lot of interesting and useful information on BoardingArea.
Keep up the good work for next year!
I love Boarding Area. The points and miles game is so addictive!
I love following your site! I hope I’m a winner. 🙂
Yours and D of C.
Of course Running with Miles and a quick daily read of the Boarding Area.
So many to pick from..I say my feedly feed of travel blogs that has feeds from all the boarding area blogs 🙂
I think the most valuable to me are View from the Wing. Gary is very good and seems to hit items I’m interested in. My favorite is Mommypoints I think.
Lifehacker.com is one of my daily reads. It doesn’t have just one focus and they’ve only recently started doing travel rewards posts but it’s good for a little bit of everything.
Your blog and Doctor of Credit are the best. Thank you.
Doctor of Credit, frequentmiler and the somewhat dormant travelisfree are three of my favorites.
Thanks you for the giveaway contest! I don’t have a favorite blog but I’ll be checking out some of the ones mentioned by other commenters.
I love all the boarding area blogs and The Points Guy.
The points guy was my the first travel blog I started following and has continued to be a true source of travel knowledge for me.
View from the Wing was my first blog from many years ago. Emailed question to Gary in the good old days, which he answered right away left a favorable impression on me to this day.
DC Rainmaker hands down
My favorite is the Frugal Travel Guy!
Frequent Miller, and this one
I like FM!
I like the points guy alothiugh he’s not part of the Boarding Area.
Also a big fan of DC Rainmaker.
Travel is free and Doctor of Credit
Doctor of Credit, but I also one of the smaller blogs I like is Points, MD!
OMAAT & View from the wing!
strength running
In for everything
Dr of credit was one of the first blogs I ever started reading so I’m pretty partial to that one, plus I still find that he posts great deals. In addition to running with miles, of course 🙂
This blog doesn’t really fit into the categories you mentioned, but I really love Tor’s blog. They are a sci fi and fantasy publisher and their posts tend to be smart, funny, and amusing about a number of subjects.
Boarding Area blogs
Running with Miles, good content without shilling for credit card signups with clickbait headlines.
Favorite blog for running/sports/fitness related things is DC Rainmaker. Especially gear reviews.
Definitely One Mile at a Time
Geez; it’s so hard to select just one. I guess that’s why I religiously (and, as an ordained minister, that’s saying something!) visit the Boarding Area community on a daily basis!
Travel Skills and One Mile at a Time
My favorite beside Running with Miles is Mile Value. Keep up the good work! 🙂
Gotta go with One mile at a time
i like bicycling.com for fitness. because when i’m not running, i’m cycling.
Did I win?
Yours and Mommy Points.
Millionmilesecrets
Yours and Dr of credit
In addition to the popular travel boards, I like the DISboards. There is a focus on Disney, but within it I find great subsets on budget travel, and I also found a group full of useful information when I ran the Disney marathon.
One mile at a time because it’s one of the first blogs I read when I first joined the game, and insideflyer.co.uk mainly for their posts on avios deals
I actually follow several blogs about gathering points and miles like doctor of credit and milestomemories. Also several others too. Not trying to sweet talk you into a nice prize or anything but this is definitely my most consistent read. I don’t miss a day. Thanks so much!
Yours and View from the Wing.
Travel is free!
Thanks!
Thank you!
I think the boarding area blogs in general are good especially for travel
I like your blog for travel/fitness, but I will check out some of the others you mention as well.
Thanks for hosting!
One Mile At A Time
Most of the English-language blogs on Boarding Area, including Running With Miles.
Your and Doctor of credit
All blogs in boarding area
Wow thanks for the info
I want something…
Yours (or I wouldn’t be here!) and View from the Wing!
Doctor of Credit. Useful content. Especially bank account bonus info.
Financial: memory mustache.com, guerilla financing
Running: Jane from thebalancedrunner.com – great articles/video on forums
Plant based running: Matt from nomeatathlete.com
Traveling fitness-minded: well, I’m new to this topic and this site is my training ground for that.
There are many favorite blogs in the Boarding Area, and of course Running With Miles is one of them.
The Flight Deal and Fare Deal Alert!!
I like reading this blog to get tips and tricks on using miles and other ways to maximize travel. Keep up the good work!
I really like: http://thefinancialdiet.com/
The DC Rainmaker is also one of my favorites…..offers reasons to buy that which my partner does not approve…
I’ve made more money from doctorofcredit than from all the others.
One mile at a time is my favorite
My favorites: View from the Wing and One Mile at a Time. Separately, have a flight booked on AA to New Zealand. Wish me luck to get that upgrade!
Love waking up in my morning and always checking this with my morning coffee. It bring joy to always looks for the best deals before heading to work 🙂
Million Mile Secrets is where I cut my first tooth on travel blogs, followed by Mommypoints and all the Boarding area Blogs. Turning 50 would love to win as a birthday present.
Yours is the best. Thank you
Aside from your blog? I would pick Andy’s as it combines my photography hobby. Thanks.
Yours as well as view from the wing!
Love Travel is Free, Doctor of Credit and of course Running with Miles! But I will say I am also partial to PointsMD.com since it’s mine HAHA
Follow all things travel. Enjoying points guy. I’m new to your site but I believe it’ll be a winner.
Hoping for some insight for my trip to Maui this April
Definitely you and The Frequent Miler
I really like Andy’s travel blog.
Fingers crossed!
My favorite is one mile at a time and view from the wing.
Doctor of Credit!
Great site!
I like Mommy Points, One Mile at a Time, and the Points Guy!
The Points Guy and Mommy Points are my faves but I pull good information from all of the boardingarea.com blogs!
I always enjoy this blog!
Fingers crossed. Thanks
Travel With Grant is great because he creates original content when most on BoardingArea post their own commentary about the same content over and over
There’s actually quite a few I like. I found out about the giveaway on Heels First Travel, one of my favorites.
Doctor of credit. Although I don’t currently take advantage of checking bonuses. Also, the abroaders podcast has been very useful.
This one of course!
