Does The Discover it Miles Card Make Sense For You?

A couple of weeks ago I first wrote about the Discover it Miles Card, which is a brand new no annual fee product from Discover.

The card offers unlimited 1.5x Miles for every net dollar you spend on purchases, with a few options for redemption.

-- You can redeem for cash as an electronic deposit to your bank account or for a credit for travel purchases on your statement made within in last 180 days.

-- Travel purchases include airline tickets, hotel rooms, car rentals, travel agents, online travel sites and commuter transportation.

What makes this card especially interesting is that you earn double miles for the first year. After the first 12 consecutive billing periods that your new account is open, Discover will double all the miles you’ve earned and apply them to your account in the next billing cycle

How Can I Get Free Child Care On Vacation?

Traveling with a few small kids isn’t always easy. And truth be told, if you’ve got kids who nap, kids in diapers, or kids who never stay still, the entire ordeal can feel a lot more like a “trip” than a vacation. I remember how hard it was when my kids were little. We drove […]

The Best “Legitimate” Business Class Fare I’ve Ever Seen?

Qatar Airways offers global fare sales as often as JoS. A. Bank offers "the spectacular semi-weekly buy one get seven suits free" sale."

Qatar Airways' latest global fare sale is valid for bookings made through March 13, 2015, and for travel through July 10, 2015.

I've written in the past about how airlines publish some great premium cabin fares out of Colombo, Sri Lanka and Cairo, Egypt, though I think this Qatar Airways fare sale may just have the best value premium cabin tickets I've ever seen.

In particular, Qatar Airways has some amazing fares published out of Cairo, Egypt. Ordinarily Qatar Airways charges ~$2,000 for roundtrip business class between Cairo and the US, though now it's even cheaper.

Does My Airline Owe Me Anything?

It’s an inevitable fact that comes with the flying experience: At some point, every flyer will be inconvenienced by an overbooked, delayed and even cancelled flight. Luggage may start at the point of origin but end up on a vacation of its own. Albeit not the worst-case scenarios, these things happen to travelers more often […]

Great Deal! Two to Dubai for $1,299 on Emirates

It is not uncommon to find cheap economy class fares to the Middle East. However, Emirates is currently running a promotion for travel to Dubai from the cities they fly to in the U.S. for fares as low I have ever seen outside of mistake fares. Through this promotion, two passengers can travel to Dubai […]

Why the Value of SkyMiles is So Much Lower Than Other Currencies (and What Delta Can Do About It)

Over the weekend I suggested that Delta had backed off of their 21 day unannounced advance purchase requirement to obtain a domestic saver award. That was technically true, kind of. It so happens I picked the first destinations that came to mind to check and they happened to be among the handful of destinations where […]
