A few months ago I received a targeted sign-up offer of 70,000 United MileagePlus miles for the United MileagePlus Explorer card from Chase. In the past I avoided opening a United credit card for two reasons. First, I try to avoid co-branded credit cards as I find the points too limiting. Secondly, I rarely fly…
At this point you may realize that the Citi Prestige is was my favorite credit card of all time. When I first converted my Citi Executive AAdvantage card to the Citi Prestige I couldn’t have been more excited. With the new Citi Prestige card I retained Admirals Club access while earning flexible ThankYou points. The old…
Today marks the end of the increased credit card sign up offers from Citi on select AAdvantage cards. Specifically the Citi AAdvantage Platinum Select and CitiBusiness AAdvantage Platinum Select cards. Citi was offering 60,000 AAdvantage miles after spending just $3,000 within the first 90 days for both cards. Both cards come with a $95 annual…
Yesterday I received an interesting email from Chase. The email asked me to rate and review the Chase Sapphire Reserve card. I figured in addition to rating the card on their site I’d also do a quick review on here as well. I’ve had the card just under a year and am happy to say…
In an attempt to cut costs even further, many airlines are opting out of installing seat-back entertainment screens on short-haul aircraft. Seat-back screens may seem small, but they’re actually quite large and quite heavy. Many forget that seat-back screens also come with huge hard drives that are typically located under the seats. All of those…
It may seem odd, but Alaska Airlines and American Airlines have had a pretty close partnership. American Airlines elites get several benefits when traveling on Alaska Airlines and the same is true in reverse. In years past I loved the American and Alaska Airlines partnership. It gave me an opportunity to travel with Alaska Airlines…
This has been an amazing year for credit cards. In a time when most loyalty programs are taking away benefits, it seems credit cards only continue to improve. Well, not the Citi Prestige card, but that’s a different story. In all honesty, its overwhelming to look at just how many cards have improved significantly in…
Even though the Boeing 787 has been around for a while now I still go out of my way to book flights on the Dreamliner, especially internationally. Sure Boeing says the lower interior cabin altitude helps you feel better after a long flight, but that’s not the reason I still love the 787. When I…
For me the most valuable benefit of the United MileagePlus Explorer card are the two one-time United Club passes card members receive each year. What’s great is the passes are available right as you sign up so you don’t have to wait until a card member anniversary to receive them. A few weeks after opening…
Booking Lufthansa first class is as easy as booking any other airline ticket. Simply go to Lufthansa’s website, search for availability, and pay for your flight. The only issue is that most round trips in Lufthansa first class cost well over $4,000. Obviously not everyone can afford to fly Lufthansa first class by paying cash.…
