I preface this article with the following disclaimer: ever since a poor experience with multiple UberX drivers in Boston, I’ve not been a fan of the 21st Century car service. I’ve also not been a fan of their customer service policy: instead of addressing the problems the customer faces, their customer service policy seems to…
IntroductionThis is the final section of a set of observations from a short weekend to Seoul, South Korea. The previous posts were observations of our flights, and of our hotel, the Grand Hyatt Seoul. We only had two and a half days in Seoul, so we primarily stuck to closer areas near the hotel in Myeong-dong,…
So my post on Pursuing United MileagePlus Miles through Manufactured Spend on either the Barclay Arrival or United Club Card (or Chase Sapphire Preferred) got some great comments and feedback. I’m grateful for the feedback, whether it comes via comments on the blog or via twitter.Reader @Saianel commented: @tmount it would be interesting to compare…
Signing up for Credit Cards isn’t the only road to miles and points. Last month, a few of us members of the Saverocity family sought to get the Southwest Companion Pass through resale (leveraging some great Rapid Rewards Portal deals available at the time), rather than through Credit Card Sign-on Bonuses.BigHabitat, and I (Link) pursued the Southwest Companion…
As a continuation of our short set of observations from Seoul, here’s the hotel portion. Since we didn’t see much of the city the last time we thought it would be nice to stay in a different location that was more convenient to the shopping district.Reason for ChoosingWe chose the Seoul Hyatt partially because we needed the stay…

TSA’s September 11th is going up. I figure you knew this already, but what you might not have known is that its going into effect on any flights booked after 12am (ED)T, 21 July 2014. Meaning, if you know you’re flying through the end of airlines’ calendars, then you should book now, if you have reasonable…
Ok, so I didn’t get to fly a cool plane to the deck of the USS Lincoln, but I’m sure I’ll get to fly more planes like this one soon, because the companion pass is mine!
Lately I’ve been a bit stagnant on my Manufactured Spending (MS). We were traveling a bunch, then I was focused on getting the Southwest Companion Pass, then I was trying to figure out the best way to leverage cash back, and I have no sign-on bonuses I’m working off. Really I think it was because…
Like many avgeeks, I was glued to YouTube for a bit today watching some of the great flight displays from Farnborough Airshow.. There was some news out of the day as well, so I thought I’d offer a few observations and some of the best stuff I’ve seen.News Airbus announced it will offer A330neo (new engine…
