End Of Week Triple

Catching up before the weekend…

  • Have I mentioned lately that I’m a JetBlue fan? Maybe not final-season-of-Breaking-Bad great…but they’re pretty damn good as coach domestic flights go. Save 25% of your points on award bookings if you book now.
  • Speaking of favorites, National is back with their One Two Free promo. Basically the only rental car promo I look forward to every year. You can take the survey and get started with a few points right away.
  • Neil deGrasse Tyson should decode and translate this overly complicated wording, but it’s still an easy 1,000 IHG points.

Have a great weekend, nerds!

Bank Of America Hates Me

I’ve been denying this for a few months, but it’s time for ol’ MileNerd to accept it and move on…

Yup, my heavy churning days seem to be over at Bank of America.

Why is that a big deal to me?

Well, this particular bank has been a gold mine of points.

I’ve gotten their credit cards like I was running an assembly line.

Over and over and over again.

Now I can’t get a single one.

Multiple aggressive readers are experiencing the same thing.

Personal cards just aren’t getting approved for us.

The Business option still has mixed success.

Well, that’s something I guess.

But it’s like Bank of America and I had the craziest parties around…

…and now we just sit around watching reruns of The Golden Girls.

Sad times.

Lufthansa Giveaway

Thanks to reader Jason, here’s the latest giveaway…

He’s got 50,000 Lufthansa miles expiring at the end of the year and has no plans to burn them. What better use is there than passing the miles on to one of you? Thanks again for your generosity, Jason.

As usual, please email the contest address below to enter. But this one is significantly trickier. In order to save my time (and Jason’s), make sure you actually have a 2017 use for these miles before you reach out. Neither one of us wants to go through a damn-I-thought-I could-have-used-those-but-I-can’t experience. Blank emails are fine but please put “Lufthansa” as the subject. I’ll randomly select one winner on Sunday night. Thanks!

 

Southwest Stuff

Are you somehow still able to get approved for Chase cards?

Are you a fan of awkward (but mysteriously efficient) boarding?

If so, the Southwest cards are all back up to 60,000 points.

And, wow, in a crazy turn of events…there’s a Southwest sale happening!

 

Washington Miles

Whether you’re a football fan or not, you’ll be getting some free miles from Delta when the Seahawks do well this season. It’s an easy signup, but should only work for people in Washington state.
