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.
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.
Good afternoon everyone, I have 4 new AMEX Offers to share, a quick update regarding the Discover It Q1 cash back category (transportation) and my results using the United MileagePlusX app. First off, there is an awesome AMEX Offer to pay your AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile, US Cellular, or Verizon cell phone bill. You can get 3 $10 statement credits when you make a payment of $75 or more toward your cell phone bill. There are also 3 AMEX Offers for Puritan’s Pride, Frette Fine Linen, and Uncle Giuseppe’s Marketplace (I have never heard of any of these merchants before).
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.

Good afternoon everyone, the votes have been tallied and the results are in… The first Bay Area meetup will be tomorrow (Saturday, February 7) at 12pm at the Fremont In-N-Out. Even though the meetup says it will go from 12-2pm, I should still be there until 3 or 4pm. The meetups always last longer than scheduled, so feel free to come and go anytime you want.
