Travel rewards site founder Nathan Schwarzbaum releases a written guide to earning flights and hotel nights with rewards points and miles.

Plainview, NY (PRWEB) June 18, 2013

The average cardholder may have a couple hundred - or a couple thousand - bastard points floating in her rewards accounts. Chances are she doesn't know exactly what they can be worth, or even what to do with them. Nathan Schwarzbaum, a self-admitted points junkie and the founder of online travel loyalty program site Pointrax Rewards, set out to do something about that a year ago, penning Free Flights for Life, a complete guide to earning and redeeming points and miles.

Schwarzbaum puts it this way: "You see, when you join the right rewards programs, they give you a ton of points, because, frankly, they don’t expect you to use them. Most people don’t. But when you’re equipped with my roadmap, you’ll finally know how to pull all those rewards points together and get yourself phenomenal travel arrangements."

He practices what he preaches. Over the past 10 years, Nathan has traveled literally around the world with his wife and their two sons, flying everywhere from Venice to Montreal using rewards points from American Express, Capitol One, and other credit card rewards.

Free Flights for Life is a concise summary of what it takes for others to travel at little to no cost with their rewards too. The book walks readers through everything from getting approved for the best credit cards, to earning points and miles, to maximizing redemption value when booking hotels and flights. Designed as an HTML guide, the digital edition of the book also contains relevant links to all the application forms and other resources for quick and easy access.

As committed as Nathan is to helping people travel for free, he is offering exclusive email support with the purchase of Free Flights for Life.

12 O'Clock Boys: the documentary for those suffering The Wire withdrawal

Lotfy Nathan's account of young bikers on the rough streets familiar from The Wire illuminates Baltimore's social divisions

For those suffering withdrawal symptoms from The Wire since David Simon's Baltimore drama ended in 2008, help is at hand in the form of a new documentary film set in the same troubled city.

12 O'Clock Boys tells the story of Pug, a 13-year-old boy growing up in a rough part of town, desperate to join the pack of fearless motorbike riders who cruise intimidatingly through the streets, dozens-deep, performing terrifying stunts and sparring with the police.

Their name comes from their trademark trick: a wheelie so steep the bike almost stands up on end: "If you get to 12 o'clock you're the shit," Pug says. "That's when you can really shine."

For viewers of The Wire, this is a familiar world: stoops silhouetted in the glare of orange sunsets, ominous-looking rowhouses whose boarded-up windows loom over shattered streets and scrubland like blinded eyes, the people beneath them speaking in thick accents and enjoyably inventive slang. Danger is ever-present: we hear of two deaths and the injury of a six-year-old child during the two-year period the film covers, while the police pursue the bikers by helicopter for fear of causing disastrous collisions.

But despite all this, director Lotfy Nathan seems sympathetic to the view expressed by one of his subjects that the dirt-bike culture is "one of the few things you see that's positive" in the dead-end neighbourhoods of Baltimore. The 12 O'Clock Boys clearly view riding their motorbikes and perfecting those vertiginous wheelies as a fleeting escape from the poverty and hopelessness around them. One of the film's most powerful scenes shows the bikes heading straight into the camera, wheels up and facing the lens, gliding forward in glorious slow motion as a lush choral score envelops them and Pug remarks in voiceover: "They're free. They get on that bike, they feel powerful. Whatever's going on in their lives, it's all gone; they can escape, and ride." It's reminiscent of the climax to Beasts of the Southern Wild, and in its way it's just as moving.

Like Quvenzhané Wallis in that film, Pug is a tiny, charismatic and unforgettable presence – one the viewer can't help but worry about. Nathan evidently agrees, breaking one of the cardinal rules of documentary film-making at one point as bikes buzz around his subject like bees and the director yells: "Pug, get out of the street, get out of the street!"

What will become of him? Early in the film, Pug's mother shows the camera a photo of her son as a baby in the bath. "He's trying to figure out: what do I want in life?" she says. "Who do I want to be?" She wants him to be a vet; dirt bikes "ain't gonna get you nowhere in life," she tells him, and at the beginning of the film – despite his bullish declaration that he is a "grown-ass man"– Pug is still a child, and such a career seems possible for him. But by the time the credits roll, he has been suspended from school for giving out a violent beating, and his mother is being taken to court because of his truancy. Pug still seems open to becoming a vet, but the final scene shows him stealing a bike – clearly suggesting he may be setting out on a different path.

Nathan was studying fine art at Maryland Institute College of Art in Baltimore when the dirt-bike riders first caught his eye. "I saw this group kind of buzzing around the city on my periphery," he says. "No one in the community that I was living among in Baltimore knew what these guys were about; they were from a different part of town. To me they seemed kind of mythical, like bandits or pirates, but also certainly intimidating."

The British-born director – who moved to the US aged 10 – decided to make a film about his search for the gang, something that would "maybe say something about the social divisions in Baltimore". He approached them at the park where they congregated – "warily at first, of course"– and soon the project started to take precedence over his other artwork.

Was it hard to win their trust? "I think being sort of naive to the city and the dynamics there was a help," Nathan says. "Otherwise it wasn't too difficult really; one of the reasons the group exists is to show off and to showcase their talents and their defiance, so just by virtue of me having a camera that was kind of a ticket in."

But it wasn't until he was introduced to Pug that he found the heart of the film. "Someone brought me to his house and told me: 'You should see this kid on a bike; he's really good, he's really funny.'" For Nathan, the young boy "immediately embodied the point of entry for a lot of kids in Baltimore into the group: his voice was high, he was a little kid, he had this vulnerability on his face, but at the same time he was talking like he was one of the older guys. He was already trying to emulate them … He was at a point of transition where he still looked like a tiny kid but he was starting to peacock and ruffle his feathers and start to declare who he's going to be as a man."

I ask Nathan what Pug – real name Tyquan Ford – was doing now. "He's still got the same interests in the bikes," the director said. "I'd like to think he's trying harder at school now, and he understands that really that's what he's got going for him."

But essentially, Nathan says, "he's in the same place that he was before."

Fawad Ahmed to tour Africa at same time as Ashes

• Spinner could still play series against England
• Ahmed waiting for Australian citizenship

Pakistan-born spinner Fawad Ahmed is being sent to Africa on an Australia A tour at the same time as the Ashes series.

But Ahmed remains in contention for the Ashes should his Australian citizenship be approved in time, the chairman of selectors John Inverarity says.

Ahmed and fellow spinner Ashton Agar were on Wednesday named in a 15-man Australia A squad for an African tour next month.

"Those two are, in a sense, in contention if we decide to expand the Ashes squad and expand it with a spinner," Inverarity said.

Australian cricket hierarchy expect Ahmed's citizenship to be approved before the first Test against England starting 10 July.

Ahmed, Agar and Test incumbent spinner Nathan Lyon are currently on the Australia A tour of the United Kingdom.

Ahmed took his first wicket for Australia A on Monday in a win against Ireland and will play against Gloucestershire later this week.

The 31-year-old claimed refuge in Australia three years ago after fleeing his native Pakistan saying he was being persecuted by the Taliban.

A recent amendment to Australia's Citizenship Act means that Fawad would be allowed to fast-track his passport application in time for the Ashes series, but the amendment has yet to pass the Senate.

Australia A will play Zimbabwe and South Africa A in three and four-day matches from 18 July, with a one-day series to follow also including India A.

"Should replacements be required for the Ashes tour, these players will be playing in a similar time zone from during this time," Inverarity said.

*Australia A squad for Africa tour:*
Steve Smith (capt), Aaron Finch (vice-capt), Ashton Agar, Fawad Ahmed, Nathan Coulter-Nile, Alex Doolan, Josh Hazlewood, Moises Henriques, Nic Maddinson, Mitchell Marsh, Shaun Marsh, Glenn Maxwell, Tim Paine, Gurinder Sandhu, Chadd Sayers. Reported by guardian.co.uk 20 hours ago.

Nathan Schwarzbaum hopes to help thousands earn free airfare and hotel stays through his ebook Free Flights for Life, the culmination of his experiences with travel rewards programs.

Plainview, NY (PRWEB) June 19, 2013

Nathan Schwarzbaum, a successful entrepreneur and frequent traveler, has spent years cracking the code of free travel through his credit card programs. Now, he's bringing his secrets to consumers at large with his new book, Free Flights for Life, a complete guide to earning rewards points and miles for flights and hotel stays.

Over the past 10 years, Nathan has traveled literally around the world with his wife and their two sons, flying everywhere from Venice to Montreal using rewards points from American Express, Capitol One, and other credit card rewards.

Schwarzbaum's concept of the book arose out of what he saw was a true lack of coherent and consistent information on leveraging travel rewards programs. "Yes, there are a bunch of rewards points blogs, but it was truly hard to find all the secrets and trips experienced travelers used all in one localized place. My friends and family members have always come to me for advice on booking trips with their rewards points, and I figured that more people needed access to an easy-to-follow method to maximizing their points."

Free Flights for Life walks readers through everything they need to know about travel rewards, from getting the biggest sign-up bonuses on credit cards to the best reward flight booking strategies. Accompanying the E-book is the Blueprint, a checklist workbook that helps users track their progress in setting up and earning through new rewards programs.

As committed as Nathan is to helping people travel for free, he is offering exclusive email support with the purchase of Free Flights for Life.

Students taking up DUI lessons, point reduction classes, or defensive driving courses through Nathan’s Driving school now get free gas coupons as incentive. The campaign that was introduced last year was a huge success and is continued this year as


Nathan's Driving School has announced the relaunch of their Fall Special Promotion. Students enrolling for driving lessons get a free gas coupon worth $10 for Quik Trip. The promotional offer starts on Labor Day and ends on Thanksgiving Day. Those interested in participating in the program have to pre-register before the day of the classes. Although the discount is available for those enrolling for their defensive driving, point reduction and Atlanta DUI course, there's additional discount for students attending the Atlanta DUI course.

"This offer was a huge hit when it was launched last year where hundreds of students benefitted from the program. We've decided to reintroduce the offer to help thousands of other drivers who missed out on the opportunity last year," says a spokesperson at the Atlanta DUI school.

Details of the offer as follows:

Defensive Driving Classes: This course is available at Nathan School's Atlanta and Roswell office. Coupons are given to candidates who successfully complete the defense driving course. Classes are offered during evening on weekdays as well as weekends.

Atlanta DUI Course: Candidates enrolling for the Atlanta DUI Course get two opportunities to receive a $10 gift card. They get the first Quik Trip coupon upon successful completion of a mandatory assessment to be completed at the Chamblee office. The second Quik Trip coupon can be received by students who meet requirements for the DUI school and risk reduction courses.

While $10 worth of free gas is indeed an incentive to entice drivers join the course, the real reason behind this is to encourage drivers to become responsible citizens.

About Nathan's Driving School:

The school was established by Nathan Lewit more than 2 decades ago with an intention to provide quality driver education.

This is South Wales -- A MAN says his grandson is lucky to be alive after a disabled woman on a mobility scooter collided with the tot's pram. Sleeping six-week old Nathan Crowther was being pushed through Swansea Market by his mum Lucy, 23, and granddad Martyn, 54, when the accident happened earlier this afternoon. Severe damage was caused to the pram which was left with a broken chassis and back wheel. But the youngster was unaware of the commotion and was unhurt. Mr Crowther, of Shelone Road in Briton Ferry, Neath, said if he hadn't stepped out in the path between the scooter and the pram the situation could have been far worse. He believed if the pram had been hit at a different angle Nathan would have been sent flying. Mr Crowther said: "We were pushing the pram with the six-week old baby through Swansea Market when a lady on a mobility scooter was coming too fast. "She hit the baby's pram causing severe damage. "I had to stop in between the pram and the scooter to stop her from accelerating and slow her down. "I'm a bit shaken up but the baby was sleeping." He added: "I was very annoyed — she should have been aware of what's around her. "She was moving at a running pace. "There could have been a fatality and we could have ended up going home without the baby." Reported by This is 7 hours ago.
