Good afternoon everyone, happy Friday! I was working on my Buy Miles & Points Page and found 7 offers that end in the next week.  Always check the math to make sure that buying miles & points makes sense for you.  Do not buy miles & points speculatively unless you have a use in mind.  With that said, here are 7 offers that end soon.

Up first, United Airlines is offering up to a 100% bonus, depending on the number of United Airlines MileagePlus Miles you purchase.  This offer expires today – September 20.

My Experience Matching Alaska Airlines MVP Elite Status to JetBlue Mosaic 1 Elite Status

Posted on by . 2 Replies

Good afternoon everyone, happy Friday!  A few days ago, I read Frequent Miler’s post JetBlue launches status match for AA, Alaska, Delta and United elites and decided to go through the status matching process.  Before you do your own status match, read Frequent Miler’s post to learn about the benefits and requirements to keep the status for longer than 3 months.  Here is my experience matching from Alaska Airlines MVP elite status to JetBlue Mosaic 1 elite status (that is the only airline elite status I currently have).  I went to the Match to Mosaic page and clicked on the Apply Now button.
