Guest Post: My Failed 1-800-Flowers Companion Pass Experience

Good afternoon everyone, I have another guest post from my buddy Nigel.  You might remember him from such great blog posts as Guest Post: 5 Card App-O-Rama (Diners Club, Club Carlson, US Airways, Southwest Airlines Plus, and Citizens Bank).  Without further ado, take it away Nigel!

Hello TWG readers, I wanted to share my experience with the recent 1-800-Flowers promotion to help qualify for the Southwest Airlines Companion Pass.  The inspiration and instructions for this endeavor came from Frequent Miler’s post: How to Feed the Hungry and Fly for Free.

In brief, through February 14th, 1-800-Flowers was running a promotion where every qualifying order of at least $29.99 with promo code RR36 or RR43 would earn 1,750 Southwest Airlines Rapid Reward Points.  In November, there was a similar promotion and many people reported that the points posted as Companion Pass qualifying points.  Rather than further depleting my Chase Ultimate Rewards Points or Hyatt Gold Passport account balances, I decided to go for it.

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

(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.

Southwest Airlines Devaluation: Don’t Get Mad, Get Even

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

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.
