Travel:
- Travel Caching – a Tim Ferriss concept similar to Jason Bourne; I’d love to do this, but I find I don’t travel to the same places nearly enough to justify it.
- Is United getting it right or wrong with incentivizing passengers to check their bag.
- Pooling points can get you a lot of value, see how that happens with Citi Thank You points.
- You’ve probably heard, enhanced screening is coming to domestic flights. This is fairly consistent most of the international places I travel, so it’s not terribly surprising. But you can avoid this with TSA PreCheck.
- Etihad lost some money this past year... only $2 Billion… I wonder how much of that was Alitalia though..
- I haven’t done this myself, but it looks like this might be a one time opportunity to generate a ton of miles with GOL Smiles
Credit Cards:
- AMEX updates it’s terms, makes them more aggressive against travel hackers.
- More on Timeshare Strategies — I’ve been finding this series of guest posts as rather interesting.
- Interesting potentials in this FrequentMiler post regarding the Chase Ink Preferred

@G – that’s correct – there is that caveat, but, I think folks were giving it a shot anyway. Just like how portal terms state they won’t payout for gift cards but some do.
