What a crazy week this has been (well at least for me). Summer has at last arrived in South Bend and I am exhausted completing my “honey do list” and wish I were on a ship about now. Ah well, my next trip is not very far away! Speaking of crazy, check out this week’s blog posts:
Delta SkyMiles top brass has “lost it”! They think we are going to live the SkyMiles lifestyle and all but forget about value and how they have trashed the chance to fly to Europe (and beyond) in business class for a reasonable amount of points. See if you are falling for their spin too.
Want $40 free? It is not hard as all you need to do is join Rakuten and spend at least $40. Oh, and you can now choose to cash out your earnings via gift cards – but should you? Take the time this weekend to check out the facts.
When my wife and I fly Delta, and I score an upgrade, I give her my 1st class seat. But not Chris. He rides up front and his wife rides in the back of the bus. Would you believe most readers agree with this choice. See if you agree too.
Speaking of families – they should stop buying basic economy tickets. No really – they should. There is a long list of reasons why but in this case a number of readers are taking issue. In my lifetime I have only purchased a “BE” ticket once and it was for a 30 minute flight and I scored an upgrade!
Ah the life of a flight attendant. Nothing but glamour and fun and endless visits to places most folks can only dream about let alone visit in their lifetimes. But the truth is that the job is, often times, amazingly hard work for ridiculously low pay. So much so some work a second job to make ends meet. See why it is so hard to make a living as an “FA”.
There is a targeted offer to get $250 back on select airlines via Amex Offers. If you can take advantage of offers like these you can rather quickly earn back the large fees you pay to keep travel cards like these.
We have a new feature on the blog to help you quickly see the “Top Five” card offers for this week. As I always say, go for new travel cards when the offers are HUGE for the best return for your travel needs.
Have an excellent weekend everyone. If your back is aching like me then it is time to take a break from work and start planning your next great adventure (hopefully at sea). – René
