Are Points Transfers Really Irreversible? Two Attempts to Prove the Impossible

Whenever you are about to process a points transfer from a flexible rewards currency to one of the corresponding bank’s transfer partners, you will get a warning indicating that once the points transfer is requested, it will not be possible to reverse. Over the last couple of months, I have unintentionally tested the reversibility of […]

Want a more vibrant family life?

"Indian families maintain standards and keep expectations high. It’s a running joke that Indian parents pressure their kids to become doctors or engineers from a very early age, but it's true."

The World’s Most Outrageous ‘Travel Hacker’… Evil, or Evil Genius?

Lucky at One Mile at a Time writes about Justin Ross Lee today, a character in frequent flyer circles who much amuses me. Lucky likes ‘JRL’, I know Justin Ross Lee pretty well, and while the “act” is no doubt pretty extreme, he’s actually a nice guy underneath it all. He genuinely gets enjoyment out […]

Changes To Earnings Rates On British Airways Credit Card

Just a couple of days ago I wrote about the British Airways Visa Signature® Card, which I consider to be pretty lucrative.

In that post I explained why I'd recommend picking up the British Airways Visa Signature® Card:

-- The card offers a sign-up bonus of 50,000 Avios after spending $2,000 within three months

-- The annual fee is $95, though is waived the first year

-- You're eligible for the card if you haven't received a new cardmember bonus for this product in the past 24 months (so if you had the card a long time ago you should still potentially be eligible to apply)

Gulf Coast Resorts You Can Book With Points

Since the Gulf Coast is only a 12 hour drive from Central Indiana, we often spent week-long stints in either Panama City Beach, Florida; Orange Beach, Alabama; or Gulf Shores, Alabama when I was growing up. Although the weather wasn’t as hot as we often hoped for, we always had a great time. And to […]
