Last week I wrote about how to book awards from multiple accounts. This can be a big challenge for families, particularly in the case of schedule disruptions.
Reader Matt S. left a great comment, which I think poses an interesting question:
"@Tiffany,
I think this is a great article, but it also highlights my concerns about over-diversification with points/miles accumulation. I am a casual traveler only, and only fly 2-3 times a year. I live near DFW, so I mainly fly AA. For the same reason, I have AA Citi personal and business cards to rack up AA miles. However, after reading this post and several of Ben’s other posts on miles, I’m starting to wonder if that’s the best strategy. What point/mile strategy would you recommend for casual travelers? Thanks!?
Now, full disclaimer: this might not be the same advice you'd get from Ben. We tend to agree on most things, but every so often we have different opinions about stuff like which airline is most awesome or which is the best One Direction song.

My cousin Lauren passes along this piece about a Singapore Airlines business class mistake fare that the airline apparently doesn’t want to honor. Singapore Airlines loaded business-class fares for flights between Australia and London into a global booking system that travel agents use to sell tickets to their customers. The cost of business-class tickets that […]

Reader Jay asked the following question on the "Ask Lucky" page of the blog:
"Hi Lucky,
I’m approaching the annual fee on my AmEx PRG card and I’m torn about what to do. On one hand, I am extremely displeased about them discontinuing the 15k bonus after $30k spend and I think $175 is a little on the high side. On the other, I easily put $30k of airfare on the card yearly do to business travel and the 3x bonus more than covers the fee.
My question is: is there a better (or comparable) card to put my airfare spend, or should I suck it up and continue with the AmEx PRG?"

Hong Kong. Its name inspires visions of a chaotic, jam packed city with soaring skyscrapers, thick smog, endless noodle stands, big finance, and wild nights out. It’s one of my top five favorite cities in the world and I relish any chance to visit. The fast pace creates a sense of permanent change and the crowds, the multi-culturism, and the food keep me continuously coming back. Oh, the food! I could be bent over a noodle bowl all day long!
