Greetings from Down Under! This week, and next week’s roundups may be a bit lighter than usual, as my wife and I are celebrating our anniversary on a round the world trip to Australia. Cheers!

Travel:
- Daniel on Friendly Skies reports the response he got from American Airlines regarding to a DoT complaint resulting from a cancelled “held” ticket, way back during that great deal for Beijing business class fares. There are some interesting nuggets in this one!
- Family Travel for Real Life (FT4RL):
- Dia has a wrap-up
- Points with a Crew live blogged it.
- Here’s my thoughts on FT4RL and here are things that stood out for me.
- (Please do let me know, if I missed any FT4RL related posts!)
Miles and Points:
- Frequent Miler is back at it again, leveraging a more scientific methodesque approach to the Sears Double Dip.
- Chasing the Points offers great advice about befriending your local banker.
Reselling:
- Matt has a great post talking about accounting for resellers… Its pretty common sense, if you ask me. If you want to join even more of a conversation, the Saverocity Forums has a thread on it as well.
- Angelina shares Mercari, another option for reselling. Even better, its commission free!
- REI announced this week that they will close for Black Friday. I always find these things interesting, I still think the bigger discussion is those stores that are open on Thanksgiving, but that’s just me.
