If you have a flexible schedule and want to fly private, don’t forget about options like JetSuite and West Coast Charters. Yeah, you have to figure out how to get home, but that’s what miles are for. And again, you’re flying in a private jet!
Free Award Booking For 5 Readers
I’m obviously very picky about who I recommend on the blog. Very, very picky. Like this may well be a medical condition. So when an award booking company reached out last week, I told them I wasn’t comfortable giving a blind recommendation. After a few emails, we finally came up with what should be a win-win solution for everyone…
At my request, they happily agreed to waive 100% of the cost and do free bookings for 5 of my readers. All I need in return is a review of their service. That way, I’ll have more information to use when deciding if I should give a recommendation here.
So, if you have a bunch of miles and need help with an award booking, let me know ASAP. I’ll put you in touch with this company. Again, this is only for 5 readers and all it’s going to cost is a review of their service. Thanks.
**Edit: I have to sort through all the messages, but this has definitely filled up. Will respond to everyone by end-of-day Thursday.**
Possible Easy Southwest A-List
A few of you emailed after getting this. Didn’t work for me, but it’s worth 30 seconds to give it a shot. Click here and enter your Southwest information. You might need to log into your account before clicking the link. If it does work for you, that’s Southwest A-List status for 2 months. A couple of paid round-trips will extend it to the end of the year.
Might Want To Use American Miles Today
A bunch of you guys are loaded with American miles. Some of you successfully worked/saved/hustled your way to seven-figure balances. Unfortunately, as has been the trend…it’s devaluation time.
Blah.
Yup, today is the last day to book from the old chart. And, as we’ve often seen, the new chart is a punch to the gut if you like flying in those nicer seats at the front of a plane. The old vs. new partner charts are a barrel of laughs too…so if you have any flights to book with American miles, you might want to do that today.
End Of Week Triple
- Pick up a free Starwood night after 3 stays at their new Design Hotels.
- Get 4,000 bonus Alaska miles if you haven’t booked with Rocketmiles yet. Like certain other people I know (looking around frantically).
- Finally, I got the following message from Plastiq:
Hope all is well! Wanted to let you know that today we’re launching a US tax promotion –
Get a 1.75% rate for all federal and state tax payments when you use your MasterCard!
This special rate will expire on April 18, 2015 at 5 p.m. PT. Only payments to the taxes listed there will receive a 1.75% rate when you use your MasterCard. FYI, this is the best rate out there for paying taxes with credit card.
