Requesting New Chase EMV Cards: Freedom, United MileagePlus, and Southwest Airlines Plus & Premier

Posted on by . 37 Replies

(Hat Tip to Doctor of Credit’s post)

Good evening everyone, there is no doubt in my mind that I love Chase and Chase loves me.  I have quite a few credit cards (both personal and business) with Chase.  I always want the latest card design (remember the new Citi American Airlines Executive Credit Card? or the new Chase Ink Bold/Plus Business Cards?) and am a big fan of EMV (aka Chip and Signature) credit cards.  After reading Will’s recent post about the Chase United Airlines MileagePlus Credit Card adding EMV chips to their card, I decided to call Chase.

Good afternoon everyone, there are a few questions regarding the new Southwest Airlines devaluation (Travel Summary post).  The questions that come to mind are: why now?; what exactly is changing?; and how will this affect my traveling plans?  I’m sorry, I don’t have answers to any of those questions, but I have a tip on how to make the devaluation less painful.

New United Airlines Promos: Transfer Miles for 0.97 CPM or Buy Miles for 2.46 CPM

Posted on by . 10 Replies

Good evening everyone, United Airlines has a new transfer and buy miles promo.  I crunched the numbers and found that it is possible to transfer miles from one account to another for as little as 0.97 cents per mile (CPM).  You can also buy miles for your own United Airlines account for as little as 2.46 CPM.

Disclosure: the transfer miles and buy miles links are affiliate links processed by Points.com.

To get started, click here and then click the Transfer Miles button in the lower right corner of the page.  You can transfer up to 100,000 United Airlines miles per account per year and receive the 40% discount, but the transactions must be broken into 25,000 mile increments.

My Thoughts on the Fremont Meetup and the Bay Area Travel & Adventure Show

Posted on by . 15 Replies

Good evening everyone, I just wanted to share some of my thoughts from yesterday regarding my first Bay Area meetup in Fremont and my short trip to the Bay Area Travel & Adventure Show.  On Saturday afternoon, as I drove down to Fremont, it started pouring really hard.  I didn’t know if I was going to make it to In-N-Out in time for the 12pm meetup or if anyone would show up.  Luckily, by the time I made it to Fremont, the rain had stopped and the weather began to improve.  As I waited outside on the tables, I was curious to see if anyone would show up.  (Photo taken at 11:55am)
