New and Improved US Bank Avianca/Taca LifeMiles 40,000-mile offer Technically speaking, it is not new.

Delta Stole My Five Tiers Ideas for Their 2015 Redemption Chart
Yesterday, Delta released their new 2015 Redemption Chart. In the meantime, they casually stole the ideas I outlined in my recent piece: Delta Airlines, Hotel, and Casino. Tall claim, isn’t it? Oh, but I have the proof. Right here. In an attempt to explain my clumsy title I wrote this: Using several award tiers… Continue Reading
Why Does Chris Elliott Hate Us So Much?
For those who don’t know, Chris Elliott is a prominent and plain-talking consumer advocate who specializes in travel. He seems to be a real thing, and by that I mean that he’s more than just a talking head; he helps people. When you get wronged by a travel provider of any kind he tries to… Continue Reading
Delta Airlines, Hotel, and Casino
Delta Airlines never fails to inspire. See one of my previous takes on their bad habits: DELTA SMACKS UNITED It seems that every blogger by now has already stated their opinion about the latest Delta Team Assault (hey, massacre and bloodbath are already taken).

Last Chance Before United and Virgin Devaluations
As you probably know, starting February 1, United will drastically devalue its redemptions levels on partners. The worst increases (up to 84%) are for the First and Business class seats to Europe and Asia. If within the next year, you are planning on travelling on Star partners such as Lufthansa or Asiana but don’t know… Continue Reading
Asiana First Class Suite JFK-ICN Flight Review
I’m writing this in an Asiana first-class suite on route from JFK to ICN. A superbly comfortable seat/bed, excellent level of privacy, caviar service, a humongous flat panel TV… I could get used to flying like this, you know. Only I won’t. In just two-week time, the dreadful United devaluation comes into effect, and that coveted… Continue Reading
My Epic South East Asia Trip–Introduction
I know, epic? Everyone has their own definition of an Epic trip. To some, epic means a six-month round-the-world trip. To others–a long-awaited and meticulously prepared family trip to Disney World. To me, an epic trip occurs when three conditions are met. 1. The trip should have longer than a 10-day span and… 2. The trip should cover an… Continue Reading
Weekend MishMash 01.11.14 Credit Cards, Merger Sweet Spots, etc.
I meant to post this on Friday just like the last week—I’m trying to bring some order into my chaotic blog—but it was not to be. I read about that newest SkyClub rate hike perpetrated by Delta, promptly got outraged and just had to say a few words about it. Sorry. Won’t happen again. Oh,… Continue Reading
New Hawaiian Cards Have Arrived
There are two new Barclays Hawaiian Airline cards: Personal and Business. Please click on the screenshots above to see the terms and conditions.

Just a Few Words Before I Start Drinking…
It has been a good year, and the next one is going to be even better. Despite all the past and future devaluations, mergers, and anguish, it doesn’t seem we have lost or going to lose the ability to travel for next to nothing. True, travel is never nothing, it’s always gonna cost us. But next… Continue Reading
