Windbag Miles

Between me, my wife, and my business, we’ve applied for dozens of credit cards over the past few years, and it isn’t until recently that I’ve started getting denied. It’s starting to make me rethink my strategy a little bit, since it does seem like the gravy train I’ve been on is coming to anContinue reading “2018 is the year of denials, it seems.”

I’ve got this friend, let’s call him Joey Jojo Jr. Shabadoo. Joey had a trip to Europe scheduled for him and his girlfriend, but then he broke his leg and had to cancel the entire trip. Joey also eschews the points and miles game, as he considers it an obscene waste of time, which meansContinue reading ““Don’t Do What Donny Don’t Does” — Help my friend untangle a mess of a reservation.”

Specifically, I was messing around with someContinue reading “Quick Hit: Star Alliance awards to the Faroe Islands are now available… sort of.”

I was fortunate enough to spend a couple hours in United’s brand new SFO Polaris lounge today during their soft open, and it was really great. I should point out that I paid for this privilege (with 2500 miles) and wasn’t compensated in any way by United. I’m actually pretty surprised it was so cheapContinue reading “Lounge Review: My first impressions of United’s new Polaris lounge at SFO”
