If you’re a FlexPerks cardholder, take a quick peek at your offers page to see what new promos have popped up. Readers are seeing different stuff in there lately (worth anywhere from 500 to 2,500 points). Shouldn’t take more than a minute to check out what you’re targeted for. Have a great weekend, nerds!
Dear British Airways:
You were fine for approximately 98 seconds, but your website is in full-on garbage mode again.
Why are you this way?
I believed all of my readers who reached out lately, but just experienced this debacle for myself.
And, man, it’s ridiculous…
For 3 straight days, I tried to make Avios bookings.
Selected my flights, entered personal information, and submitted the payment.
I got an error on that final step.
All.
Three.
Days.
I finally picked up the phone to call you.
At one point, your representative actually said these words…
“Did you see 7 seats available? Oh. Yeah, when you see 7 seats, that probably means it’s not real availability.”
I don’t understand how you can be this way.
Sincerely,
MileNerd
P.S. If you need me, I’ll be drinking heavily and crying for at least another month.
Lately, I’m hearing from readers every few days about strong redemption options for their SkyDongs. What used to be an oxymoron is suddenly (and strangely) becoming a habit.
Probably the best use yet is 22,000 miles for a round-trip to Europe.
A couple of days earlier, it was 40,000 for trips to China.
I’ll keep posting some of the better options. If you’re actively looking for even more ways to use this currency, SlickDeals/Flyertalk are overflowing lately. Even playing around on the Delta website for a few minutes seems to be yielding good stuff for people these days. Apparently, it’s a good time to have dongs.
As much as I try to avoid posting contests, I couldn’t resist this one. Totally my style of thing (creative, talking about an all-time favorite memory, artsy, etc).
Ok, fine…my style is a little “girly.”
I’m a total man in other ways…and when I think of an example, I’ll let you know what it is.
Are romantic comedies manly?
Anyway, the contest is worth a million United miles.
If I were a rapper, I’d start a song with…
“I’m takin’ chumps to school like Mr. T pities the fool.”
(The only thing I’m actually taking to school right now is a chicken caesar salad)
Well, it’s suddenly very clear that I should never attempt to rhyme again. So…
Thanks to reader Mike for sharing this Motley Fool deal. Looks like either:
Check the terms but, according to Mike, this can be done for $19 and cancelled after 45 days. If you’re not in a rush, the bonuses seem to fluctuate. Apparently, American was recently up to 7,400 miles. Keep an eye on the links if interested.
