So I'm looking at cards that give airline miles. Articles have been popping up online that talk about the fun game of flying for more miles and upgrades, but what really kicked off this motivated is my high school friend's brother, who is traveling around the globe for 9 months and only spending $418 on airfare. His travel route looks like this:

He calls it travel hacking, and recommended the e-book "Frequent Flyer Master," but I don't have an e-book reader so I'm thinking of ordering it off of Amazon. But before I do I was curious if anyone else has experience with this, or good suggestions for cards or resources. I'm not planning on doing anything in the next year, but saving up would be fun. I figure I'm 25 now and in the next few years I'll likely be tied down with a family and a career, but taking some months off to travel could be a blast. Thanks!
