Applying for business credit and charge cards is a great way to earn more miles and points than you already do, but many people don’t apply for business cards because they incorrectly believe they don’t qualify.
Do you qualify for a business card?
Myth #1: A business must have employees.

Your business can be a sole proprietorship, meaning only you work on the business. That’s how MileValue started, just Scott, and he has received several business cards for MileValue.

I tweeted this deal first from @MileValueAlerts. Follow @MileValueAlerts on Twitter and follow these directions to get a text message every time I tweet from that account. I tweet from @MileValueAlerts only a few times a month because it is designed to be used only for the best and most limited-time deals–like mistake fares–so that you aren’t bombarded by text messages.

A variety of airlines like ANA, Air China, China Eastern, United, and Asiana are offering roundtrip economy flights starting at $480 from various cities across the United States to Southeast Asia.

The Citi /AAdvantage Platinum Select MasterCard and the CitiBusiness / AAdvantage Platinum Select World MasterCard bonus are now each offering 30,000 American Airlines for spending $1,000 the card within three months of account opening.

Historically that is not a very high sign up bonus for either. Periodically Citi will raise the bonuses to 50k AAdvantage miles for spending $3,000 in three months, and not that long ago the public bonuses were 60,000 miles for each of the personal and business cards.

If you missed out on the public offers, there's no need to fret.

UPDATE 8/16: Did you nab one of these ridiculous ANA Business Class fares between Vancouver and Sydney? As long as your booking was actually ticketed then ANA will honor it. There are even some people who did not initially receive an e-ticket number at the time of purchase reporting that ANA is still honoring their tickets after calling in. Congratulations to everyone going to Sydney!

Planning any travel in Asia or Australia during September?

Today's your last chance to register for JetBlue's Mosaic status match and/or status challenge and so I'm bumping this post to the top of the blog! 

Do you have status with Virgin America, Alaska, American, Delta, Southwest, or United?

The eclipse is happening in a week, and unfortunately I have no choice but to travel between Charleston, South Carolina--an eclipse viewing hotspot--and Atlanta, Georgia on August 23, just two days after the momentous event that's drawing an estimated crowd of one million+ visitors to the coastal city.

The internet has been buzzing with talk of US Mobile's new Unlimited Wifi Plan. The service that debuted a couple weeks ago gives access to US Mobile's hotspot network as well as unlimited in-flight wifi on a large variety of airlines domestically and internationally, all for the incredible price of $10 a month.

It appears American Airlines has released batches of Business Class award space to Europe, South America, and Asia.
