Southwest Expands to Hawaii: Latest News

Posted on by . 2 Replies

Come on, Southwest, get us to Hawaii already! October came and went and still no word from Southwest Airlines on its expansion to Hawaii. Disappointing, to say the least.

Friends in Hawaii report that they hear what’s blocking the start date are issues with the inter-island flights once SWA gets to Hawaii. None of my friends work for SWA so this is just what they hear and nothing official. But last time I wrote about Southwest’s expansion to Hawaii it addressed just this topic of inter-island flights.

Good afternoon everyone.  I was working on my Buy Miles & Points Page and found a few new offers.  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 the 4 promos that are ending in November. First up, United Airlines is running a mystery offer with up to 70% bonus miles, depending on the number of United Airlines miles you purchase.  Offer ends on November 20.

Do you Want to View Passwords in the AwardWallet App?

Posted on by . 8 Replies

Good morning everyone.  During the Chicago Seminars, Dia @ The Deal Mommy mentioned wanting the ability to view passwords in the AwardWallet app.  I thought about it for a minute and totally agree with her.  If you can view passwords on the desktop version of AwardWallet, you should have the same ability on the AwardWallet app.  At the end of this post, I have a reader poll – please vote and let me know if you would use this new feature. 

Here is what the current version of the AwardWallet app looks like.  You can sign in using Face ID (iPhone X or XS) or a PIN, so the app is pretty secure.  I then went to my KLM account (since I had a 0 mile balance) to see if I could view my password.  I clicked the Edit button, since that seemed like the most logical place to view the password (and that is how the desktop version of AwardWallet works).
