Wednesday Stuff

  • Fewer Delta SkyDongs are currently needed for trips to Canada and Alaska. Also for travel to Mexico, Central America, and the Caribbean.
  • Log in to see a 25% bonus on American Express point transfers to Hawaiian Airlines.
  • Another week, another Southwest sale. And, of course, there’s one from Alaska too.
  • American Express has been increasingly inconsistent giving bonuses out to people. Depending how you look at it…they’ve either been clever or fraudulent while “enforcing” language that doesn’t exist. I think it’s total bullshit. You can’t invent new bonus terms when people have already submitted an application. Well, at least they’re being more upfront about punching us on the chin now. As of yesterday, readers are starting to notice a new message pop up:
    “Based on your history with American Express welcome offers, introductory APR offers, or the number of cards you have opened and closed, you are not eligible to receive this welcome offer. We have not yet performed a credit check. Would you still like to proceed?”
