With United’s new revenue-based frequent flyer program for earning miles from flying, you earn miles based on the price of your ticket and not based on the distance you fly when traveling on United. The ‘break-even’ price to earn the same miles in 2015 that you would have earned in 2014 is a ticket that […]

If you live in the US nowadays, the single best way to earn points is through credit cards. There are two components to maximizing the points you earn through credit card spend:
-- You want to maximize the points you earn for acquiring a new card
-- You want to maximize the points you earn for your everyday spend
While I often have rundowns of the best credit card sign-up bonuses, I figured I'd compile a list with the best bonuses you can earn on your credit card for everyday spend, based on the category in which you spend the most money.
Like all things in life, you have to crunch the numbers to see what makes sense for you. In other words, based on how much money you spend in each general "category" you have to decide how many cards it makes sense to acquire for the category bonuses they offer.

As some of you may remember, I flew Emirates first class from Los Angeles to Dubai last November with my dad.
The flight was amazing, though the one (minor) downside of the experience was that Emirates used the Korean Air Lounge at LAX, which is my least favorite major lounge in Tom Bradley International Terminal. Not only is it a small and boring lounge, but the food and alcohol selection is underwhelming.
The good news is that I knew Emirates was in the process of opening their own lounge at LAX. The Emirates Lounge Los Angeles Airport had a soft opening in mid-February, though they only had their "grand opening" yesterday, which I was invited to.
