I have the news for you. Earn and burn is not a good strategy for most people. For some power bloggers and spenders yes. But for most of you, no. This new slogan that has taken deep roots after the series of airline devaluations sounds catchy, but the question is, what’s next? You burn all your miles on a… Continue Reading
Hilton HHonors Changes 2014
A year ago, in light of the upcoming huge Hitlon devaluation of 2013, I wrote the post aptly named: Hilton HHonors Armageddon. Oy! The point of that article was that while there had been some really drastic devaluation of some of their best properties, they had also introduced some positive changes. Two Flyertalk members Jerry305 and Richdary… Continue Reading
World Cup 2014: There Are More Brazil Cities You Could Fly to from the US
This is a short addition to my previous posts about some very good availability that has recently opened up on American Airlines to Rio and Sao Paulo, as well as TAM and Azul for intra-Brazil flights right in time for the World Cup.

Melia Rewards: Incredible Bonus Offer That Has Nothing to Do with a Credit Card
HT to MrsGuin from Fat Wallet Update: All in all, it appears this offer is not as exciting as I thought it was. 1. It appears that the bonus points cannot be transferred. Bummer! 2. The booking must be made by April 30th. The language states the points must be “used” until April 30,… Continue Reading
Fantastic Value of Avios in Brazil. Oh, and I Am Going to the World Cup.
OK, I have finally booked two AA award tickets to Rio for my cousin Timmy and me. Haven’t gotten game tickets yet, or a roof over our heads. That’s fine. We’ll just wing it. We’ve done it before. For those of you, folks, who don’t know yet, AA opened up a lot of Saver inventory… Continue Reading
Massive AA & Azul Award Availability to World Cup in Brazil
OK, I know I might be obsessed with the World Cup in Brazil, as I have written about it multiple times, here, here, and here, and perhaps somewhere else too. My point has always been that good things come to those who wait, and indeed during the last few months, we have witnessed sporadic emergence… Continue Reading
#AAdvantageMAAsacre – Part Deux
Reader MikeS sent me an email reminding that AA is not the first US airline that introduced major changes without a notice. Delta did it too. Thanks Mike. Totally slipped my mind. That doesn’t let AA off the hook, though. My yesterday post is here. As I mentioned yesterday, American Airlines has introduced some drastic… Continue Reading
American Airlines Has Gutted its AAdvantage Program #AAdvantageMAAsacre
New American chief Doug Parker has shown his true colors–for the umpteenth time. Let us begin with what they’ve done so far. Although, keep in mind, this is a very sneaky devaluation, as it has never been officially announced. What’s incredibly disgusting about it is that the two worst changes have been done with no… Continue Reading
“The Most Promising Lead” in Search of Malaysia Flight MH370
According to the former Australian Defense Chief Angus Houston who’s coordinating the search for the missing Malaysia flight, an Australian ship towing the US “Ping” locator detected the signal “consistent with black box flight recorders” in the Southern part of the Indian Ocean. The plane disappeared on March 8th with 239 people on board with no… Continue Reading
Still Want Vanilla Reload? Go to Ebay!
Vanilla Reload is now dead. This is probably the only place left in the country where you could buy your favorite beans with a credit card. Apparently some overly enthusiastic entrepreneurs couldn’t wait long enough to try and take advantage of our loss. 🙂 Too soon? I know you’re still hurting. I know I… Continue Reading
