Think flying for free is a myth? It’s actually possible if you are able to accrue as many airline miles as possible! Take a look at some ways that you can earn miles without actually boarding a plane:

Airline Dining Programs

A lot of airlines will actually grant you rewards if you dine out at their preferred list of restaurants near you. Just register your card for their dining program (like this one) and link one of your credit cards to the account. Then you’ll earn 3-5 miles per dollar spent when you dine.

Shopping

You, of course, shouldn’t spend money just to get rewards. But if you’re going to shop anyway, you may as well rack up some miles! Many airlines have deals with stores you might already shop at, like Target, Barnes & Noble, Best Buy and Safeway. Head here to find out which programs offer the biggest shopping bonuses.

Social Media

You can easily earn miles on Facebook, and all you have to do is click the “like” button. Many airlines and hotels are willing to dish out many as 500 miles in exchange for a simple “like” on a page or a post which is a great deal.

Hotels

There are some hotels that will let you transfer hotel points to partner airlines or allow you to choose airline miles instead of hotel points when you stay. There are even hotels out there that let you “double dip” and get both hotel points and miles. Here are Lifehacker’s suggestions for the 5 best airlines for frequent flier miles.
