Several credit cards offer reimbursements for certain spending categories. Majority of the cards I discuss are travel rewards credit cards, some of which offer annual reimbursements for travel category spending. These reimbursements often make the annual fee associated with the card a little easier to stomach, but not all travel credits are created equal. All…
A few days ago, four domestic airlines (Alaska Airlines, American Airlines, Southwest Airlines, and United Airlines) were all fined for giving inaccurate compensation information to customers for being involuntarily bumped from overbooked flights. Overbooking flights is a common practice for the airlines, especially between city pairs with multiple flights per day. Often, flights with high…

The Singapore Airlines KrisFlyer program just may be the greatest loyalty program for travelers living in North…
I have a confession to make, I’m breaking up with American Airlines. After all of the changes to the AAdvantage loyalty program and a lucrative Delta Air Lines Status Challenge I’ve decided it’s time to leave American. I’m sad about it. I love American, I love their crews, I love O’hare, I love the Admirals Clubs,…
A few months ago I wrote about a few tricks to earn extra Marriott points and I wanted to do the same for SPG Starpoints while the program still exists. Several months ago, Marriott announced it would be acquiring Starwood Hotels, with the acquisition, most likely the two programs will merge and SPG Starpoints will most likely…
