I didn’t notice my account get its status upgraded, though it appears on Award Wallet (and now that I log in) as though it already has been. I received a direct mail piece from Marriott Rewards giving me Gold elite status: I was already a Marriott Rewards silver elite member, the lowest status I hold […]

There's no denying that I'm getting old. I may only be in my mid-20s, but the number of "butt-in-seat" miles I've flown suggests otherwise.

American Express is offering a 25% bonus on transfers of Membership Rewards points to Virgin Atlantic through April 30. Before the end of the year American Express was offering a 35% bonus on transfers to Virgin Atlantic. So 25% doesn’t impress. Virgin Atlantic has one of the least valuable mileage currencies — my stretch for […]
