Today Only: Vegas Hotel Package Deals

The Three Cards I Just Applied For

I just applied for three cards:

Citi Executive American Airlines card
Alaska Airlines Personal Card
Alaska Airlines Business Card

I'll earn 165,000 very valuable miles after spending $10,000 in three months on these cards. Miles that I value at around $3,000. Miles that can get me back into Cathay Pacific First Class or Emirates First Class.

It had been about three-and-a-half months since my last applications, and I always like to wait at least 91+ days between applications.

Get the Hawaiian Miles Card and Take Your Friends Orphan Miles through Share Miles

I know a lot of people with around 5,000 Hawaiian miles. Until recently, I was one of them. That's about what you'd have if you've flown one paid roundtrip on Hawaiian Airlines.

For a lot of people, those miles are headed to an unused expiration.

But if you have The Hawaiian Airlines® World Elite MasterCard®, you can receive miles from other Hawaiian Miles accounts for free through the online share miles promotion.

$20 First Ride Credit on Uber is Back

Update: As Virginia notes in the comments, clicking the referral link in this post says you will get $10 free credit. But I got an email that says my referral link is for $20, and I've gotten two $20 referral credits the last few days. Your mileage may vary. Use my link for a guaranteed $10 and a chance at $20.

Update 2: Commenter Brian signed up through the link and got $20 credit. I think everyone will. YMMV.

Uber is the world’s best taxi service because it has clean, courteous drivers and the easiest taxi-ordering app imaginable.

United Award Chart vs. LifeMiles Award Chart

On Friday, I wrote about a revolutionary idea:

You can use the Barclaycard Arrival PlusTM World Elite MasterCard® to get 1.52 LifeMiles per dollar on all purchases.
