A few weeks back Qatar Airways sold some incredible business class fares. I jumped on the opportunity and purchases two of them without really considering a major factor. In order to take the trips I’d have to get to Vietnam. The cheap business class fares originated in Vietnam. I considered this when I booked my…
I still can’t believe how many new and improved credit cards we’ve seen in 2017. Earlier this week Bank of America released a new exciting Premium Rewards card. Now, it appears American Express is releasing yet another new credit card. However, there’s one small catch. American Express’ newest credit card won’t be available in the…
This year is shaping up as the best year in my traveling career. I’ve flown on nearly every wide-body aircraft in service today and flown with nearly a dozen different airlines. While it’s always fun to try out new planes and new hard products, I often notice the older generation of aircraft falls by the…
One of the few things I hate about traveling is the public restrooms. Restrooms (lavatories) in airplanes are absolutely disgusting and I try to avoid them whenever possible. Airport terminal bathrooms usually much better than those found on the plane. Overall, I try to make sure to use the restroom before leaving for the airport…
Bank of America made headlines today by announcing their version of a premium travel rewards credit card. The Bank of America Premium Rewards credit card is the newest card offered from the bank.

It’s no secret that the Chase Freedom card is quickly becoming one of the most valuable cards in my wallet. At face value the card is a simple 1% cash back credit card, but it’s actually so much more. While the card offers 1% on all purchases annually, it also offers 5% cash back on…
One of the more difficult to use credit card benefits is the American Express Airline of Choice Benefit. The idea is simple enough. It’s a $200 annual credit card members receive to offset travel expenses. The issue is, unlike other cards the benefit is not automatic. In fact card members have to jump through a…
Oh the pitfalls of writing these posts. I sat down tonight with the intention of writing a simple “Keep, Cancel Downgrade” post about the Chase Sapphire Reserve and now I have this mess… I thought this post was going to be simple, I’d talk about how great the Chase Sapphire Reserve card is and how…
A few weeks ago I booked two Qatar Airways business class fares from Vietnam back to the United States. Thanks OneMileAtATime for posting about the fares. At the time no one was exactly sure if the sale was a mistake or not. Some people were saying the fares were mistakes while others said they were legit. I…
A few days ago American Express strengthened its ties with Delta and added yet another Delta SkyMiles credit card to their current lineup. The new card, Blue Delta SkyMiles, represents the bottom of the Delta SkyMiles line up. Now, American Express and Delta offer 4 co-branded credit cards with varying annual fees and benefits. The…
