Through May 15, 2016, the Chase Ink Plus is offering 70,000 Ultimate Rewards after spending $5,000 in the first three months--in branch only. That’s 10,000 points more than the business card is currently offering online.

Priority Pass is the world's largest independent lounge access program, and now has 900+ member lounges in 400+ cities in 120+ countries.

I fly into and out of some pretty obscure airports worldwide, and I almost always have access to a Priority Pass lounge as I wait for my flight, usually with some good options for free food and drink, comfortable seating, and free wifi.

You can get Priority Pass membership for free and get lounge access for yourself and two guests for free no matter what airline you're flying by getting the Citi Prestige® Card.

The brand new PointBreaks list allows us to book hotel rooms through July 31, 2016 for $30 per night.

5 Ultimate Rewards per dollar at office supply stores and on cellular phone, landline, internet, and cable TV services

Aerolineas Argentinas is cutting its Miami to Cordoba route in June 2016 and its routes from Buenos Aires to New York, Rome, and Barcelona at undisclosed dates according to these (1, 2) Spanish-language articles

Groupon Spain is having a sale on Iberia Avios, offering them for 1.38 cents each.
Iberia has a portal that allows you to earn 8 Avios per euro on the purchase of Groupons.
Those extra Avios bring the effective purchase price down to 1.26 cents each.
You can freely transfer Iberia Avios to British Airways Avios if both your Iberia and British Airways accounts are 90 days old.
Both types of Avios are worth well more than 1.26 cents each.

Last week I wrote about SPG's newest airline transfer partner. You can now transfer Starpoints 1:1 to Virgin America Elevate points and get 5,000 bonus Virgin America points for every 20,000 Starpoints transferred. That's particularly amazing because Virgin America is a 2:1 transfer partner of American Express and Citi (eg 20k Membership Rewards = 10k Virgin America points.)

One of the best deals with Virgin America points is flying Virgin Australia from Los Angeles to Sydney or Brisbane.

Last year I predicted that award space to Air New Zealand would be much improved in 2016, especia

American Express added Etihad Guest miles as its 17th airlines transfer today.

You can send Membership Rewards in increments of 1,000 points to Etihad miles at a 1:1 rate.

Etihad Guest is already a 1:1 transfer partner of Citi ThankYou Points. In November 2015, we saw a 25% transfer bonus from many programs including Citi ThankYou Points to Etihad Guest miles. I expect if we see a future transfer bonus like that, American Express Membership Rewards would be included.
Uses of Etihad Miles
Etihad Guest miles are NOT good for booking Etihad flights.
