Friday is Last Day To Transfer Hotel Points for Southwest Companion Pass
March 29, 2017
You have two more days (including today) to transfer hotel points to Southwest for the purposes of earning a Southwest Companion Pass. Friday, March 31 is the cutoff. After Friday, any points transferred to Southwest will not count as "qualifying" towards the Companion Pass. That includes Marriott Travel Packages.
The Southwest Companion Pass, if you're unaware, is one of the best deals in travel. If you have the Southwest Companion pass, you can designate a companion who flies for just the taxes on every Southwest flight you fly.

5 Ways to Earn Miles You Probably Didn’t Know About
February 9, 2017
The majority of us earn heaps of miles through sign up bonuses, maximizing category bonuses on credit cards, and flying. And at the end of the day, credit cards are the bread and butter that enable most of us to fly free in First Class.
But there are lots of other ways to earn miles, many of which are passive and all of which require little effort.

Miles With Free (or Almost Free) Change & Cancellation Fees
December 29, 2016
There are lots of obvious reasons why miles are better than cash, like the ability they give us to book mini palaces on planes that look like this...
Etihad First Class Apartment on an A380...or the loose routing/stopover/open jaw rules of some programs that allow us to see more places on one trip.
But what about the smaller perks we often overlook? Like free or nearly free change and cancellation fees?
Southwest Rapid Rewards Devaluation Again! This Time No Notice
May 19, 2016
Southwest has mildly devalued its Rapid Rewards points by about 3%. What's alarming isn't the size of the devaluation, it's that:
Southwest gave no notice, only some sleuthing by FlyerTalkers sussed it out
This is the third devaluation in third years, something which is completely unnecessary for a revenue-based program like Southwest
The Devaluations
Southwest points used to be redeemable for any "Wanna Get Away?" fare at a rate of 60 points per dollar of the fare.
