This is by\u00a0no means new information but you can earn airline miles through utility partners. For several years now I have been signing up for a utility partner to get bonus miles and earn miles for each dollar spent on my utility bill. Then I would switch to a new utility partner about every 6-9 months to get the new bonus! Might as well get miles for utilities you are going to\u00a0use anyways right!?!\u00a0 Below are the currently participating partners through various airlines. Many are state specific but\u00a0favor seems to be given to residents of the great\u00a0state of Texas!<\/p>\n
