Travel tip #2: Frequent Flyer Numbers Are Only Handy When You Have Them

Keep a list of your frequent flyer numbers in your wallet.  Always.

I was just on the phone with United for an hour trying to get my family's miles posted to my account. If I had only had the numbers at the check-in counter, I could have been, I don't know, eating chocolate cake and dancing in my living room to the Black Eyed Peas this last hour.
