Travel:
- Dia talks about some key skills / attributes that, while she talks about Camp Mom, I think are integral for any travel hacker.
- JetBlue unveiled their new retro livery – it looks awesome!
- From Doctor of Credit, get Etihad Elite Status with a single flight.
- The response to AirBnB runs the gambit, between being embraced by some localities, and being made illegal by others. Apparently, it’s not the thing to do if you have a flat in some parts of Singapore, for example.
- The future with United sounds something like what American did a while back with banking flights… But, more interestingly enough, United seems to think that increasing connecting traffic in places like Newark, are the key to success.
- Joe asks, why are Hyatt Diamonds treated so unevenly? I would offer, that he might need to take some advice from this video
Miles and Points:
- Doctor of Credit reports that there’s an Amazon Wedding Registry completion discount, as much as 20% off of $2,500… not bad for folks in the midst of getting married.
Reselling:
- The scariest thing I’ve read this week. Getting your account shut down by Google for reselling a Pixel phone. I’m sorry to say, I’m not even sure what it is, aside from what I’ve seen on Twitter from @Jonk, but, I’d never even consider reselling a google product after reading this.
- Oren has some holiday tips for resellers.
